Premier League's highest-paid players, four of the top five mega-earners playing at Old Trafford

Yeah, I refuse to take Man City's figures at face value, tbh.

Us paying audacious figures isn't anything new, but I don't believe we pay so disproportionately in contrast to them.

How can yo believe anything about City wages reported like this? I totally agree.

We are idiots for sure, but they are evil.
 
I have started to believe that the wages we offer can't just be incompetence and there might be something more sinister going on at the club . I mean we know already how big a role agents have these days and I wonder if someone like Woodward was in some ways involved in shady deals. I know it sounds crazy but a lot of the decisions are just too bad to even be considered as incompetence
 
As others have said, I don't believe Sancho's wages or Varane either tbh. They will most likely be in the £200k range.
 
The good news is next season we could be THIS much lighter on salaries:

CR7 - 470k
Pogba - 290k
Cavani - 250k
Maguire - 185 - 190k
Mata - 160k
Shaw - 150k
Fred, Matic - 120k
Henderson - 100k

Let them all go or be sold and reinvest on 20-25 year old talented and hungry players.

Well pogba & cavani leaving will happen but no chance anyone will be willing to buy the others looking at those wages

Maguire, Shaw, Fred won't be going anywhere, realistically. We're not going to fire sale regular starters when we're already losing a number of players that creates holes in the squad that need to be addressed. Then you have two sets of holes to fill and one summer to fill them. Not to mention these players are at their lowest stock and probably within the top 10% of earners in the PL which isn't a good equation for a selling club.

A lot of the others will be going or are realistic to go, perhaps.

I really hope he is not on 350k. Most websites claim that to be his salary though.

Yeah it seems a bonkers increase on what he would've been earning and it wasn't like we were in a bidding war with Real and Chelsea over him.

You make a lot of sense. I'd love us to be ruthless and be abit busier as players like Varane and De Gea won't wait forever to challenge either and then that would add additional holes in the bucket too.

I know it would almost be a dream to sell and replace Maguire, Fred and Shaw but it would no doubt improve us on and off the pitch if we changed a good number of the squad.

Your right that it isn’t just incompetence but don’t think it’s shady. I think it’s just the banking and finance culture that Woodward and his best friend Matt Judge come from. In that industry they pay huge bonuses as long as the profit is coming in. The Glazers attitude is that they look at extending contracts as cheaper than signing a new player, it is to be fair. They will pay someone whatever they want as long as they will stay. It’s why we have ended up with so many underperforming and unmotivated players who don’t suit us, that is the incompetent part.

As per popular opinion, pw salaries

CR7 - 470k or something
DDG - 375k
Sancho - 350k
Varane - 340k
Pogba - 290k
Cavani - 250k
Rashford - 200k
Maguire - 185 - 190k
Bruno - 180k
Mata - 160k
Shaw - 150k
Fred, Lindelof, Matic - 120k
Henderson - 100k

That is assuming Sevilla is paying Martial whole salary.

Don't forget £75k Ferguson, which is crazy money for an 80 year old.

Is that part of the problem, do any other clubs pay ex-managers that sort of money & to do what exactly? Look angry in the stands after a poor game, even though he is partly to blame for it all.
 
I dont trust Chelsea and City numbers. I refuse to believe it.

Arsenal and Liverpool numbers are fairly accurate and it's criminal that we have 4 of our top earnings above Liverpool players.

I don't know about Chelsea, but City is definitely doing something to the books in some way. It's so suspicious that their big stars never get tempted away from other big clubs in big leagues.

Martial is on £240k. £40k more than Salah.

If I were doing a rebuild, I'd keep CR7, DDG and Sancho.....unfortunately that's the wage budget fecked though. Good luck negotiating with their pay.

I believe Salah is on a good bit more than that in reality due to the way Liverpool pay goal bonuses and Salah scores so many goals.

Chelsea spend a lot of wages but we definitely don’t spend as much as you guys. While you throw money at players, we do evaluate demands and follow a strict policy regarding contracts. We have been known to upset a player or two Playing hardball.
 
Rashford on the same base wage as Kane and Salah.

About £660k per week will saved on Matic, Mata and Pogba alone if they go for free at the end of this season. It is a good time to correct our wage structure.
 
Is there some kind of algorithm involving social media traffic, money generated for the dividends and marketing = salary? It would make sense. If this is the case I assume performance at football is NOT part of the equation.

The Portuguese playmaker will more than double his salary to £240,000 a week after the club hierarchy convinced him of their plans for the future, despite their current on-field struggles
