According to Spotrac, United wingers Antony and Jadon Sancho are two of the 10 best-paid attacking players in England's top division, although neither of them have scored this season.
Sancho, 23, has been banished from all first-team-related duties since early September following a fallout with manager Erik ten Hag, while Brazil international Antony, also 23 years old, has not found the back of the net in his 12 league appearances.
The abovementioned website, which details players' annual, monthly and weekly salaries, has Antony as the seventh-highest-paid forward player in the Premier League, with Sancho in at sixth in the ranking.
Their teammate Anthony Martial, whom the club is reportedly willing to let go at the end of his contract in 2024, holds down fifth place with an annual salary of £13 million (R305.72 million).
Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, ranks third with his apparent £15.6 million (R366.86 million) yearly wage, with Mohamed Salah representing Liverpool and Erling Haaland representing City in the standing.
Two Arsenal players – Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka – are among the highest-earning players on the list, which also includes Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku and Tottenham Hotspur's Heung-min Son.
