#2 Paul Pogba, £290,000 per week
Many would have expected Pogba to be the highest earning Manchester United player, but that is seemingly not the case here. The France international, who recently inspired his national side to a historic World Cup glory, earns £290,000 every week and ranks second in this list. In United's initial games, he also skippered the team owing to Antonio Valencia's absence.
#1 Alexis Sanchez, £350,000 per week
Alexis Sanchez is not only Manchester United's highest paid player but is also one of the highest earning players in the football world, following his departure from Arsenal in this year's winter transfer window. However, he has failed to live up to his billing since joining the Red Devils and, in turn, has not justified his whopping price tag yet. Only time will tell whether he can bring his A-game in the future games.
