#5 Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Manchester United)
Wages: £220,000 per week
The Swedish striker kept Manchester United afloat in the Premier League last season as the rest of the attack floundered and despite his injury in April, he still finished the club's top goal scorer with 28 goals in all competitions.
The knee injury seemed career-threatening at the time but the 36-year-old still bounced back and returned earlier than expected. United saw his progress and offered him another one-year deal as a result and he even picked up the no.10 shirt vacated by Wayne Rooney.
While his first season at Old Trafford was a success, it remains to be seen if he can continue in that rich vein of form with Romelu Lukaku also in the lineup. Mourinho's experiment of playing Ibrahimovic as a no.10 is yet to yield any positive results too.
