Manchester United’s wage bill remains one of the biggest in world football, with the club continuing to invest heavily in star names and young talents alike. Here’s a ranking of the top 10 highest earners at Old Trafford for the 2025 season, based on their yearly salaries.
1. Bruno Fernandes – £15.6m
United’s captain and creative heartbeat sits at the very top of the wage structure. Bruno’s leadership and influence on the pitch make him one of the club’s most valuable assets.
2. Casemiro – £15.6m
The experienced Brazilian midfielder matches Fernandes’ salary. Despite injuries in recent seasons, Casemiro remains a cornerstone for his defensive qualities and Champions League-winning pedigree.
3. Mason Mount – £10.4m
Signed from Chelsea, Mount ranks third on the list. His deal reflects United’s belief in his versatility and long-term value in midfield.
4. Harry Maguire – £8.4m
The former captain may have faced criticism, but his salary shows the level of investment United made when they signed him from Leicester in 2019.
5. Matthijs de Ligt – £8.4m
One of United’s marquee signings, the Dutch defender earns the same as Maguire, underlining his status as a key figure in the backline.
6. Benjamin Sesko – £8.3m
The Slovenian striker, a highly anticipated arrival, enters the wage bill just below the senior defenders, showing United’s intent to build their attack around him.
7. Bryan Mbeumo – £7.8m
A clever addition from Brentford, Mbeumo’s salary reflects his expected role as a versatile forward in United’s evolving front line.
8. Luke Shaw – £7.8m
United’s first-choice left-back when fit, Shaw’s wages place him among the most valued defenders at the club.
9. Matheus Cunha – £7.8m
The Brazilian forward adds depth and flair to United’s attack. His salary matches Shaw and Mbeumo, making him one of the club’s top-earning attackers.
10. André Onana – £6.2m
