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

#6 Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Forward) - £125,000/week

Introductions need Zlatan

The lion among men. Zlatan took a £225,000/week pay cut to rejoin Manchester United after recovering from his injury. Everyone had written him off and though he hasn't quite recovered fully, the absolute presence of this enigma of a footballer will do wonders to the United side.

Zlatan was United's main man up front up until he picked up an injury towards the end of last season. A revered figure in the stands, fans will be hoping to see more of the great striker in United colours before the season draws to a close.

#5 Juan Mata (Midfielder) - £140,000/week

Deft touches are his thing

Perhaps the most adorable player in the Premier League, the perpetually smiling good Samaritan among the devils of Manchester hasn't had the best of seasons this time around. But form is temporary and class is permanent. In the absence of the creative force of Paul Pogba, Mata has been able to step up and deliver.

With 3 goals and 4 assists to his name in the Premier League so far, Mata is still of great importance to Manchester United.
