#1 Alexis Sanchez (Inter Milan on loan from Manchester United) - £400,000 per week
There were wild scenes of jubilation across social media when Manchester United pipped city rivals Manchester City to the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal on deadline day in January 2018. However, two years on and any optimism generated from the Chilean's arrival has since dissipated.

He had been part of a player exchange that saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan go the other way and in hindsight, a case can be made to consider this the worst player swap in history.
A crucial factor that tipped the scale in the favour of the Red Devils over their neighbours was them making Sanchez the highest paid player in the league, with his weekly wages of £400,000 significantly more than anybody else in the squad.
His output on the field did not reflect his high earnings off it and Sanchez' return of just five goals from 45 matches in 18 months was a far cry from the forward who tore opposition defences to shreds at Arsenal.
A loan deal was completed to Inter Milan over the summer but the Mancunians are still offsetting 3/4 of his salary, while Inter pay the remaining £100,000 but eight months into his spell at San Siro, nether side has really profited from the resources expended on him.
