United’s wage bill was the highest in the league in 2014-15 season (£215.8m) but they they discarded Van Persie, Falcao, Di Maria, Nani, Javier Hernendez and Rafael De Silva in 2015-16 season resulting in their wage bill dropping to £203 million last season and we can only expect it to rise again this season under Mourinho.
Manchester United current wage bill is the second highest in premier league with £203 million a year, followed by Man Citys £193.8 million and Arsenal’s £192. United’s highest paid player is Paul Pogba who earns massive £290,000 a week.
