Romelu Lukaku has scored 12 goals in the Premier League so far this season
Red Rom has come under a lot of criticism for going missing in big matches. But Romelu Lukaku has delivered the goods this term for United but perhaps, it has not really come at the rate they were expecting it to.

But Lukaku doesn't deserve all the stick that he gets though as he finds himself starved of service on days when the midfield is simply not ticking. He works hard and makes his presence known in the final third and has shown signs of getting back to his best in the recent games.
And United fans will hope that the arrival of Sanchez will help add more goals to Lukaku's kitty.

#3 David De Gea (Goalkeeper) - £200,000/week
The best goalkeeper in the world right now
Hardly a surprise. David De Gea is one of the highest paid individuals at Manchester United and why in the blue hell wouldn't he be? If United ever had a matchwinner in their ranks during the dismal Moyes-LvG years, it was David De Gea.

You don't even have to go that far back. Just look at De Gea's performance from the Arsenal-United derby where he pulled off a record 13 saves to single-handedly see off a Gunner onslaught. If he asks for a raise, just pay him whatever he wants and sign him up for eternity. After all, even in the darkest of hours, Dave saves.
