It's only worth saving that money if we do something useful with it. Has the money been put into the stadium or training ground? No. Have we signed a midfielder to replace Fred? No. Is the money going to go towards interest payments? More likely.
United's Wage Bill 2021 versus 2023
- Thread starter Ted Lasso
- Start date
Have you heard about Jadon Sancho? Who is paid almost as much as Mount and Antony together?
I meant from the current regime.
Ah ok. Agree that those two from the current regime are in a bit too much.
Casemiro is in a crazy salary but that was always going to happen. 5 time UCL winner, coming from Madrid, regarded as one of the best DMF of all time.
Antony was not explainable. He essentially did a 10x in salary. Mount also a 3x while having been crap last year.
I think the others are mostly fine. Martinez at 120k (same as Lindelof) is definitely a sane salary (but it is insane that we apparently already started talks to give him a bump despite that he has another 5 years in the contract), Eriksen at 150k is fine considering that he was free, Onana is in as expected salary, Hojlund also ok for United salary (Ed and Judge would have put him in 200k) and so on.
Would be interesting to see how the extension go. Do we default to +50-100% that we were doing before, or we judge each case in isolation. First signs (De Gea) were good, and even in Rashford’s case we didn’t go insane by giving him Sancho salary + something on top of that.
Something is off here. Going by employee benefit expenses in financial statements of Liverpool (page 27) & us (page 7) for 2022, they are at £323m while we are at £384m. This should be much lower for us in 2023 given we got rid of a bunch of players, primarily Ronaldo & De Gea. Are the figures you quote only the guaranteed portion?
Is Sancho really on 350k/w?
Also Anthony is on 200k/w?

Mount on 250k? Yeah, that makes sense. Sancho getting paid more than Casemiro and Varane. Right.
Sancho got his contract under Ed. So yeah its possible that he earns more than Casemiro
Have we got the Glazers salaries in there, Joel, Avram and the rest of the parasites?
Christ, I can't bear to even think about that.
Sancho makes more in a single week than I would make in 10 years.
I don’t know why anyone would call those numbers out and fail to contribute and provide the correct ones.
Sorting out by paying Mount and Antony hundreds of thousands per week.
Doubtful - they're compensated as directors, not employees.
Sancho is not on £350k a week!! The myth prevails and grows stronger every passing day!!!
This.
The numbers may be inaccurate but seem plausible.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sancho, Martial, Anthony, (all young players) leave United on a free (like DdG) because nobody wants to buy them.
Our numbers on Capology are way off the mark. For some of the new additions they're still listing Jackson and Gusto at £0 but I'm pretty sure they're not playing for free. Disasi, Ugochukwu, Maatsen and both our new goalies Sanchez/Petrovic are missing from the list altogether.
Lavia at £45K/wk stands out as something that I'm sure is too low for what he's actually earning after his big move. Caicedo at £150K/wk is another one I think is wrong because somehow I doubt the PL record signing is on anything less than £200K a week. Colwill is also listed at just £5K a week but it's been said the new contract he signed earlier in the summer earns him around £100K.
Then again the numbers still include Lukaku, Cucurella, Hudson-Odoi and Sarr for an overall £41M which are about to be removed from the salary bill assuming all their proposed moves go through so those would more or less balance things out for the missing players.
Either way come the end of the window our wage bill will almost definitely have decreased significantly compared to 1-2 years ago. Plenty of young players signed to replace the more experienced and higher paid seniors and apart from a couple of them (Nkunku, Caicedo) I doubt any of this window's newcomers are on as much money as the players whose place in the squad they've taken.
To sum things up, Capology is a shitty source.
What wages certain players are getting is speculation. Wages and contracts are done by Richard Arnold whom should be learning from the ridiculous contracts and wages Woodward was giving out and left a big mess behind to clear up. Ten Hag already offload a good few of those players whom was all surplus to requirements. Mount,Antony is his players/choices the jury is out on Mount and like him or not Antony played his part in a decent first season for United under the new manager.
