Following Cristiano Ronaldo’s signing with Manchester United, fans are eager to know how much the footballer is raking in this season.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is due to make his second debut for Manchester United in Saturday’s match against Newcastle, for which tickets were selling for as much as £2,500.
Ahead of the match, fans have been more obsessed with him than ever, wanting to know everything from his strict diet to what his new house looks like.

One fan waited outside the Man United stadium for hours to get a photo with his hero as he arrived for training. But sadly, all he got was a quick wave from the footballer as he sped towards the ground in his Lamborghini.
What is Ronaldo’s net worth in 2021?
Ronaldo has been ranked as the world’s third highest-paid athletes by Forbes in 2021, with an eye-watering net worth of $120 million (£86.8 million).
As well as a seven-figure salary and a lifetime deal with Nike, Ronaldo cashes in on other lucrative brand sponsorships with the likes of DAZN, Herbalife, MTG and Unilever.

And if any of that fizzles out, he’s got his highly successful CR7 range of clothing, accessories, hotels and gyms to fall back on.
What is Ronaldo’s salary?
Ronaldo may have taken a pay-cut to transfer from Juventus to Manc, but he’s still one of football’s highest-earners.

Ronaldo is said to be earning around £450,000 per week at Manchester United on his current contract.
That’s around £19.7 million a year, which, yes, is a cut from the £26 million he was earning at Juventus, but he’s still doing alright for himself.
But despite the legend's move to Man United, Manchester City is said to be leading the way in the world's top-ten most-valuable squads ranking. City took the number one spot, with their legendary £100 million Jack Grealish signing, while United comes up close behind in second place.
