A quick google search seems to show him on 1.2m euros a year, which is actually a bit less than £25,000.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

3rd year means €1.4 per year = 1.1m GBP per year = 21500 GBP per week = €27000 per week.
Considering Smalling earns 2.6m GBP per year that's great value.

If that's true I'd be horrified, he's had many first team games now...
I'm gobsmacked lads, proved me wrong and fair play but that's very surprising, I'd love to know what Jones/ Zouma/ Smalling etc are on
So they earn over double Várane? Shoot your agent kid.
Zouma supposedly about £40k a week but that's based on estimates.
TBF lots of young continental players earn peanuts.
Isco is on €2million at Madrid.
Munain is on €2million at Athletic.
Koke was on €1million till recently and even after contract negotiations earns €2million at Atletico.
That's less than Cleverley who's on €2.5million.
Interesting post
Afaik Spanish wage numbers are usually after taxes, whereas Cleverley's 2.5m is probably before taxes?!
Dunno about that mate.
Yep, his agent is using us to get him big pay check.
Wow, no wonder they have to sell someone like Di Maria to get in James, they seem tight on the wages front, they are paying some of their best players the kind of wages you could get at Villa/West Ham
Yes I think that's correct, though @jojojo will probably be able to tell us, she knows this stuff.
Yes, Spanish footballer pay is normally quoted after-tax. So, Isco at €2m could be more like €4m or £3.4m. Varane at €1.2m is more like £2m and so on.
It's true though that Real Madrid aren't big payers at the squad level or even to the middle rank like Di Maria and Isco.
I was mocking that poster that said that
Athletic and Atletico don't have the money, so that's not surprising, but Isco at 2 million is a joke
But if I am right, Reals wage bill isn't that high at all, they just pay their stars like Ronaldo and Bale (and before Kaka) a huge amount of money and silly transfer fees, but the rest of the squad doesn't earn that much. Pepe was also on a ridiculous low wage before he got his new contract I believe.
I want a CB with experience, but If there would be any chance for Varane, I would take him without a doubt. Still think he has every chance to be the best CB in a few years, but Real will not sell him anyway.
I don't know how so many apparently gullible idiots manage to run these multi million dollar businesses that are football clubs, I mean if all you have to do is get your agent to plant United interest in the media in order to get a triple your money pay rise, it's a wonder any of them keep their jobs........
Ummm turns out google search is not the best resource when it comes to wages. Apparently Koke now earns 6m and not 2m like I posted previously..

Is he a plummer or an electrician (spark) aswell?
I should have gotten a trade considering that kinda dough!
Anyone want to have a pop at him? Won't get him, but at least try?
Probably best to spend our time on someone realistic at this point
We need an experienced leader at the back who can keep our less disciplined defenders like Jones and Rojo in line. We're lining up with a bunch of kids at the back right now. They need a daddy.
We need Benatia/Hummels/Garay anyway. Signing Varane will not take us up the level needed. He is still young and it won't help one bit playing next to others who need leaders themselves.
Garay's gone to Zenit, Benatia has joined Bayern and Hummels will leave in the next 1-2 years, but not now.

Chiellini.
No need to unnecessarily bump this thread.... Getting him is nigh on impossible
It's either gonna be Ron Vlaar or else LVG is gonna put his trust in the likes of Rojo, Smalling or Jones to take that middle spot of the 3 man defence...Rojo looks like he may have the physical strength and athleticism too to play that role..Smallin and Jones can possibly do the job also....
There's just not any imposing central defenders out there available that would be a big improvement on what we already have so we may have to wait a year before signing another monster central defender

I believe we will in the next few games be switching back to a back 4. I hope sp anyway. The 3412 is a failed experiment that is just not working.
I also reckon we will go into the season with the 4 centre backs we have, doubt we will sign another one. 4 plus the two youngsters (Blackett & Keane) should be enough to cover 2 spots.
If it carries on that he is behind Pepe and Ramos in the pecking order than I think he could be looking for a way out.
We will get Concrete ron, if we get anybody. Hummels is our longterm target but thats for next summer or the summer after.
Probably not by Monday then
Why wouldn't United actually pay 600m for him when this is definetly something we NEED?
There is 0 chance of this happening. None. Just like Hummels.
We should have moved for both Mangala, Garay or Benatia. We didn't. The only other realistic option left is probably Vlaar but then again I'm not sure Villa will sell cheaply at this stage.

£600m would mean we lost our marbles.
So after a few competitive games it's a failed experiment? Fecking hell short term ism is rife in here! Go read some of Van Gaal quotes & see if you can take any of it onboard!
Guys like you would have had Sir Alex out the door in his first few seasons.
60*, but I assume you understood the typo.
Only the absolute best defenders can pull off a role like that. I'm thinking about Canavaro when they won the wc. You need to be fully complete.
Can't see Varane leaving but Garay would've been perfect from us, also would've fitted in nicely with the other Argies in our team.
