STRETFORD SPENT

MANCHESTER UNITED’S wages for the 2024-25 season have been revealed – with Bruno Fernandes joining Marcus Rashford as the top earners.

The Red Devils endured another difficult Premier League season last term as they finished eighth but will be determined to improve this time around.

Erik ten Hag looked set to be sacked but won the FA Cup and then signed a shock new deal.

And he has made the most of his backing to bolster his squad with various new arrivals in the summer transfer window.

Joshua Zirkzee was the first man through the door before Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.

Manuel Ugarte’s deadline-day switch from Paris Saint-Germain completed the first-team incomings — as Jadon Sancho headed to Chelsea on loan.

Sancho is among the top-paid players on the books at Old Trafford – but is still well short of the deals Rashford and Fernandes are on.

Rashford’s contract is said to be worth a whopping £325,000 and runs until 2028.

Fernandes, meanwhile, was tipped for a summer exit but, like his boss, performed a U-turn and put pen to paper again.

And that new deal also saw the captain rewarded with improved terms, boosting his weekly wages up to £325,000 as well.

Casemiro completes the United salary podium on £300,000 with Mason Mount on £250,000.

Antony reportedly earns £200,000 per week and new centre-back De Ligt (£195,000) pips fellow defender Harry Maguire (£190,000).

Further back, Christian Eriksen and Luke Shaw are said to take home £150,000 a week with the trio of Lisandro Martinez, Andre Onana and Victor Lindelof all on £120,000.

Summer signings Yoro (£115,000) and Zirkzee (£105,000) complete the list of players reportedly on six figures each week.

Rising star Alejandro Garnacho will no doubt hope he can improve on his £50,000-per-week contract.

The same goes for £20,000-a-week Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo (£29,000), too.

It is still unclear exactly what Mazraoui and Ugarte are being paid by United.

Ugarte allegedly earned just shy of £100,000 per week during his one year at PSG while Mazraoui pocketed £130,000 a week at Bayern Munich.

The Red Devils cut some big earners off the wage bill in the summer by letting Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Scott McTominay leave. — Sun.
