Manchester United: Weekly wages and salary of first-team stars revealed

#6 Fred, £120,000 per week

Fred is the latest Brazilian to join the Old Trafford club

Perhaps, Manchester United's shrewdest signing of the season, Fred was signed by the Red Devils after they coughed up £52m to prise him away from Shakhtar Donetsk. Nevertheless, he will take some time to settle in England if his recent performances are anything to go by.

#5 Juan Mata, £140,000 per week

Juan Mata has already entered into the last year of his contract with Manchester United and the 30-year-old might soon be offloaded if he keeps playing like he did against Brighton. The 30-year-old looked out of his depth throughout the first half and struggled to provide any form of support to Ashley Young before getting substituted at half-time.

#4 David de Gea, £200,000 per week

By virtue of his sterling performances in the seasons gone by, David de Gea has stamped his authority as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. The Spaniard is also currently embroiled in a transfer saga as he is reluctant to extend his contract, which runs out next year. Apparently, both the parties are unable to come to an agreement with regard to de Gea's wages.

#3 Romelu Lukaku, £200,000 per week

Unlike Manchester United's campaign as a whole, Romelu Lukaku produced an admirable first season at Old Trafford as the Belgian notched up 27 goals in 51 appearances across all competitions. The 25-year-old also scored a goal against Brighton last weekend to open his account for this season.
