Man Utd wages: £120k flop, four on more than De Gea – what each star earns at Old Trafford
MANCHESTER UNITED have secured several players on new long-term contracts this season, but which stars now earn the most at Old Trafford?
Manchester United have been planning for the future with a number of players signing new deals earlier this season.
Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones have all put pen to paper while the Red Devils took up the option of another year on Ashley Young’s contract.
Martial has reportedly quadrupled his wages and now earns £250,000-a-week, making the Frenchman the third best-paid player at Old Trafford.
David de Gea is yet to secure his future at the club despite United supposedly offering a bumper pay packet of £350,000-a-week.
Talks over the Spanish stopper’s contract have stalled recently, meaning De Gea’s wages remain well short of top earner Alexis Sanchez.
Meanwhile, summer signing Fred has been earning a huge £120,000 weekly wage but has failed to impress since joining from Shakhtar Donetsk.
The Brazilian is reportedly on more money than Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford, Victor Lindelof and a host of other first-team stars.
