Fernandes, Ighalo not among the highest paid Man Utd players

BRUNO FERNANDES and Odion Ighalo will both be paid £100,000 per week after arriving at Manchester United – but are still way below some of the club’s top earners.

Both players are ahead of injured star Scott McTominay who banks only ten per cent of that amount while Andreas Pereira is on £30,000-a-week.

Contrast that to the exorbitant figures earned by United’s veterans and it is not hard to see why that cannot shift them.

Nemanja Matic earns £120,000-a-week, lagging behind Juan Mata’s £160,000-a-week pay packet and level with Brazilian flop Fred.

Defender Ashley Young was on the same wage bracket, clocking in at £6.2m over the course of a year before leaving for Inter Milan while Luke Shaw strolls clear of with £150,000-a-week making for £7.8m in 12 months.

By far the highest earner still at the club is David De Gea, last year agreeing a deal to be paid £350,000-a-week – matching the now on-loan Alexis Sanchez.
