Manchester United players' salaries have been one of the highest in Europe's top leagues for decades. This has been possible from the club's triumphs in the continent and their great marketing abilities. The last decade has been one of the toughest for the Red Devils, but that could not hinder them from having some of the world's best players.

Manchester United Player Salaries

The UK's tax system has undergone several reforms under the Conservative government to ensure that the highest earners pay their fair share of taxes. The government recently passed new legislation aimed at those making over $180,000 annually. These laws essentially stipulate that anything a person makes over that amount must be subject to a 40% tax rate.

The average gross salary for the Premier League's Manchester United F.C. for the 2022–2023 season is about $242,000,000 or $4,657,000 per week. David de Gea, a goalkeeper, earns the highest amount at Manchester United F.C., earning a gross annual salary of $23,470,590.

Man Utd is among the richest football teams in the world. The Premier League team generates around $513 million in revenue from broadcasts, matchdays, and advertisements. Since the post-Ferguson era, United has increased its investments in the team but has not seen the desired improvements.

Erik ten Hag's team is currently in charge of restoring the Red Devils' former glory because they have yet to do so. Thus, it should come as no surprise that the majority of United's current superstars rank among the highest-paid players at Old Trafford. The current top earners on a weekly basis are listed below.

  1. David De Gea | $451,357
  2. Raphael Varane | $421,267
  3. Carlos Casemiro | $360,975
  4. Jadon Sancho | $330,892
  5. Bruno Fernandes | $300,811
  6. Anthony Martial | $300,811
  7. Marcus Rashford | $270,712
  8. Harry Maguire | $240,633
  9. Christian Eriksen | $204,535
  10. Luke Shaw | $204,535

Manchester United has recently signed a number of great players who they are offering a very lucrative salary. Their excellence has aided Ten Hag's team in appearing dangerous, slipping into the Premier League title race, and mounting a challenge for four trophies. Consequently, it is accurate to say that United finally seem ready to shake off the doldrums that have enveloped Old Trafford for a decade.
