With Cristiano Ronaldo having had his contract at Manchester United terminated late last year, here is an update on who the 11 highest-paid players at the club are following his controversial departure.
Ten Hag Praises Benni, Reveals His Impact
Prior to his exit from the Red Devils in November, days before Portugal's 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign got underway, the 37-year-old forward was the best-paid player in Erik ten Hag's team.
Ronaldo, however, opted to start a one-sided war of words with United as he sought to set the record straight on his experience at the club since returning after 12 years, actions that were met with disappointment from his teammates and coaches.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was subsequently released by the 20-time English champions by way of mutual consent, meaning the squad now has a new highest-paid star in its ranks.
Ronaldo's departure also means experienced midfielder Christian Eriksen has entered the top 10, while left-back Luke Shaw, who has become handy in central defence in recent weeks, earns as much as he does but on a shorter contract, according to Capology.
Brazilian holding midfielder Casemiro, meanwhile, is now fourth in the list of the club's best-paid players, ahead of attackers Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Anthony Martial.
Jadon Sancho, who has not featured for United since club football returned, is second in the standing – find out who tops the list by clicking through the gallery below!
