Since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, the club has struggled to recapture its former dominance, often settling for top-four battles rather than genuine title contention.
Erik ten Hag initially appeared to be the man to restore United’s glory, delivering a promising debut season and overseeing heavy investment in the squad.
However, after a disappointing campaign last year, the revamped leadership gave him one final opportunity—only to dismiss him following a 2-1 defeat to West Ham. ..Continue Reading
Now, 40-year-old Ruben Amorim occupies the manager’s seat at Old Trafford. Despite the team’s ongoing challenges, many of the players remain on substantial wages, as revealed by Capology.
Replacing long-time goalkeeper David de Gea was no small feat, but Andre Onana was chosen for the role, having previously worked with Ten Hag at Ajax.
Their past success made his arrival unsurprising, though his performances in England have been shaky, marked by several costly errors.
Still, flashes of quality suggest he may yet find his footing. Onana earns £120,000 per week—far more than backup options Tom Heaton (£45,000) and Altay Bayindir (£35,000).
With Raphael Varane’s contract ending, United’s defensive payroll saw a reshuffle. Matthijs De Ligt, brought in from Bayern Munich, now earns close to £200,000 weekly.
Harry Maguire, one of the club’s longest-serving players, follows at £190,000, while Luke Shaw—despite frequent injuries—receives £150,000 per week.
Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez earn £135,000 and £120,000 respectively, while new signing Leny Yoro commands £115,000 despite fitness concerns.
Diogo Dalot takes home £85,000, Tyrrell Malacia earns £75,000, and Patrick Dorgu—signed in January—receives £40,000 weekly.
At the lower end of the scale, Ayden Heaven earns just under £4,000 per week, and Tyler Fredricson is among the club’s most modest earners at £5,000.
The midfield department, however, is where United’s financial strain is most evident—a challenge the new ownership continues to grapple with.
Casemiro currently tops Manchester United’s wage chart, earning a staggering £350,000 per week.
Among the midfielders, Bruno Fernandes stands out as the only one who has consistently justified a six-figure salary over the past year and a half.
He led the Premier League in chances created for the second season running, racking up 114 key passes—his £300,000-a-week deal reflects that level of influence.
Mason Mount, despite being the third-highest-paid midfielder at £250,000 per week, has had a tough time since joining the club.
Limited to just 17 league appearances and one goal last season, his injury troubles have made his salary a point of contention.
On the other end of the spectrum is Kobbie Mainoo, widely regarded as one of the brightest young talents in the league. He currently earns £20,000 a week, though reports suggest he’s seeking a tenfold increase to commit his future to Old Trafford.
This summer, United added Matheus Cunha from Wolves in a £62.5 million deal, placing him on £180,000 per week. Bryan Mbeumo also arrived and is believed to be earning £150,000 weekly.
New striker Benjamin Sesko reportedly takes home £160,000 a week.
Amad Diallo, after a blistering start to the 2024/25 season, secured a new five-and-a-half-year contract worth £120,000 per week.
Meanwhile, Joshua Zirkzee—brought in last summer to reverse United’s poor record with forwards—has struggled to adapt to Premier League intensity. He earns £105,000 weekly, which is £20,000 more than Rasmus Hojlund, who joined the previous year and is on £85,000.
Alejandro Garnacho, along with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, is expected to exit the club this summer. Garnacho earns £50,000 per week, while rising Danish prospect Chido Obi, seen as a future star, currently earns £15,000 weekly.
