Wage bill 20/21

Where we stood

2nd to Chelsea at £154,815,000 per year

Individual players

https://www.spotrac.com/epl/manchester-united-fc/payroll//

DeGea and Martial lead the way though HUGE MISS there’s no Pogba listed!

I dunno how accurate the overall figure is but I thought it would be interesting to talk about how much we pay our young players like Williams and Tuanzebe

 

[pascell]

Some on here scoffed when told Williams was on £65k a week and would earn more than most Southampton first team players.

We really do overpay some players and hopefully Pogba isn't listed as he's off.

 

[Dan_F]

If McTominay signed a five year contract at £20k a week last summer, he needs a new agent.

I remember Williams being reported at £60k a week at the time, although I can’t see how Lingard is only just above that.

 

[-Supreme-]

I’d doubt Williams is paid more than McT

 

[golden_blunder]

It’s crazy that Williams is on more than James and McTominay!

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Few interesting observations:

Chilwell the highest paid Chelsea player.

Partey on the same wage as Aubameyang.

Mane gets half the wage of Salah (and Thiago).

Ndombele on the same wage as Kane.

I guess it pays to have good agents!

 

[MrSingh2002]

Opportunities to lower wage bill and what that could/should get us.

Lingard and Martial - Lautaro Martinez
Jones and Lindelof - Cristian Romero
Mata - Camavinga
Fred - Neves

Simple.

 

[Withnail]

It’s crazy that Williams is on more than James and McTominay!

It's not believable though is it? Surely McT would be kicking the door down.

 

[united_99]

I really don’t believe McT is getting 20 k.

I remember Williams being reported at £60k a week at the time, although I can’t see how Lingard is only just above that.

I remember a huge debate 3-4 seasons ago when Lingard got a new contract at 100K (or 105K). Lots of fans jump onto his worthiness. It was revealed that 105K was only after CL qualification (not sure he got that part last season by playing elsewhere?), and basic wage was around 85K. I supported this wage level as he still played a part under Mourinho.

 

[MikeOnTheRadio]

That list has to be wrong. For example, it's well known that Bruno is on around £100,000 per week (some sources reporting even less that). Hell, that's one of the reasons why the club wants to reward him with a new bumper contract.

 

[roonster09]

Some on here scoffed when told Williams was on £65k a week and would earn more than most Southampton first team players.

Rightly so.

It's a crap source and the deal is reported "he earns upto/max 65k per week" which includes all bonuses. He doesn't even play, how will he trigger all those bonuses.

People should read the reported wages carefully when journalists are so clever with word play.

It's a crap source btw.

Kante earns around 300k and it's reported by Chelsea's mouthpiece, Matt Law.

 

[AFC NimbleThumb]

I knew Pogba’s love of United ran deep but to play for free really is commendable.

 

[Red Rash]

I'm not sure of the validity of that data considering they say Declan Rice is on 3k per week

 

[duffer]

Some of those Chelsea wages are wildly different from what other sources made up.

I'm not sure whether to believe these made up figures or the other ones.

The only thing we know for sure is that individual player wages are never disclosed so this is all a load of bollocks.

 

[dalriada]

I'm sceptical about some of these figures, not a good idea to get in a lather about them.

If you flip into 2020/21, Pogba is 2nd on the list at £290,000/wk.

Actually that’s a good point

This website has very different figures, here's McTominays and Williams figures, that seems a little more accurate no?

​

Player​	Year Contract Signed​	Weekly Wage​
Scott McTominay​	2021​	£73,000​
Brandon Williams​	2021​	£43,000​

 

[UNITED ACADEMY]

Although DDG, Pogba, Martial might play some factor for it since those three are our top 3 highest earner but I think the no 1 factor is the fact we & Chelsea have so many deadwood players who are still in the clubs. I hope we can get rid lot of them this summer. Tough one since lot of teams are affected by covid.

 

[Skills]

That doesn't seem like a lot?

 

[redrobed]

That list has to be wrong. For example, it's well known that Bruno is on around £100,000 per week (some sources reporting even less that). Hell, that's one of the reasons why the club wants to reward him with a new bumper contract.

Even less than 100k? Maybe he could do some hours down his local to supplement his income a bit.

I do agree though really. In my experience your English media tends to over-inflate the salaries we pay while under-inflating the salaries paid by rivals in an attempt to make us look bad. I think you could take 20% off most of what’s listed for ours and add it on what’s listed on others. DDG for example is not on anything like 375k. It’s 250k is my understanding.

 

[acnumber9]

I’m sure that site is mostly bollocks anyway but City’s total is laughable.

 

[Escobar]

If we could only offload some deadwood. I wonder now with our 2 big signings, how it will impact our finances and wage bill

This is why I think we should sell Pogba and DDG. I wouldn't mind moving on Martial as well, though I think he just about deserves another chance.

On that list, Maguire and Rashford deserve their salaries, being two of our three most important players. The other one - Bruno - is underpaid at the moment. But I'm sure that will change soon.

It says something about the footballing economy Vs real life that I looked at Mason's wage and felt sorry for him, before realising that he makes more in a month than I make a year.

Mata..Jones. charity.

Jones has cost Manchester United £12.4m in wages over the times he's been injured.

Pogba has cost Manchester United £18.4m in wages over the times he's been injured.

They haven't updated his contract on the site, he signed a 75k per week deal back in February. Which puts him in line with McTominay.

Yeah let's sell James weaken our RW position and save barely any wages.

Or we could loan out Tuanzebe, try to get rid of Jones and loan Williams. Would save much much more and be a much more sensible bet.

 

[Dazzmondo]

Pretty certain that 1st source is wrong. The one posted by RedSky is more in line with what I had believed to be accurate. Football Manager db seems to be pretty much in agreement with the 2nd source also. It is a game but it's extremely well researched and they tend to get this sort of information correct.

 

[charlenefan]

Come again? We were paying Ighalo how much?

 

[charlenefan]

Greenwood's is very surprising as well

 

[Dazzmondo]

Greenwood's is very surprising as well

Yes, I'm pretty sure we recently gave him a new contract to upgrade his wage, so it's higher now
