Man Utd's wage bill 'leaked' as fans left stunned by the top 10 highest-paid players

Manchester United's wage bill for the 2024/25 season has been revealed including the top ten highest earners in the squad.

United have one of the most expensively assembled squads in history but are yet to live up to expectations under Erik ten Hag.

After finishing eighth in the Premier League last season, the Red Devils have made another sluggish start to the current campaign.

They've lost two of their opening three games, including a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of bitter rivals Liverpool on Sunday.

United minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is in the process of overhauling the squad at Old Trafford, assisted by sporting director Dan Ashworth, chief executive Omar Berrada and others in a new-look structure behind the scenes.

United are reportedly looking to get several senior players off the club's books to free up funds for further new arrivals in January and next summer.

The Sun has now revealed details of United's massive wage bill and the top ten earners at Old Trafford.

Casemiro takes the top spot on a massive £375,000 per week, following his £70m arrival from Real Madrid in 2022.

United are reportedly keen to sell the veteran midfielder, with Galatasaray strongly linked with the 32-year-old.

United captain Bruno Fernandes is next on the list on £375,000, closely following by Marcus Rashford (£350,000) – who, like Casemiro, has been linked with a move away after struggling in 2024.

Mason Mount is fourth on the list with wages of £250,000 per week. So far, he has managed just one goal since joining United in a £55m move from Chelsea in 2023.

Another player linked with a move to Turkish football, Antony, is fifth with wages of £200,000 per week. The winger is a reported target of Fenerbahce, having managed just one cameo appearance so far this season.

Matthijs de Ligt (£195,000), Harry Maguire (£190,000), Christian Eriksen (£150,000), Luke Shaw (£150,000) and Victor Lindelof (£120,000) complete the top 10.

The list doesn't include winger Jadon Sancho, who is now on loan at Chelsea on reported wages of £250,000 per week.

United fans on social media have expressed surprise at the rankings and some of the names included.

"I don't see any player deserving those wages, even Bruno doesn't deserve 375k a week," one supporter posted on X.

"Looking at these wages and comparing the quality of players… it's actually mind blowing," added another.

While a third wrote: "Ridiculous wages."
