5 highest paid footballers at Manchester United

#2 Paul Pogba - £290,000/week

Pogba and Mourinho are not on good terms at the moment.

Paul Pogba came through the academy of Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson. However, a lack of first team game time saw the Frenchman leave United for Juventus in Italy. Paul established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world during his four years in Turin winning the Seria A and reaching the Champions League final in the process.

At the time, United was struggling with a lack of creativity in the midfield. The signing of Jose Mourinho ensured an influx of world-class footballers at the club starting with Paul Pogba. He returned to Manchester for his second tenure at the club in a transfer deal which made him the costliest player in the world at that time.

Despite his big-money move, Paul has suffered from the lack of consistency and recently reports emerged of a fallout with the manager. He is made to sit on the bench by the Jose Mourinho in the recent games with the situation worsening between the two every passing day. Manchester United are paying more salary than he deserves which should push him to up the level of his performances for the club.
