The Red Devils have been fairly liberal in handing out huge contracts in recent years, but who sits where in their list of highest salaries?
Manchester United caused a real stir in January when snapping up from Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal. Far beyond the Chilean being recruited from a Premier League rival midway through the season, the biggest bone of contention appeared to be his British-record salary of £350,000 per week.
Such is the fascination in the money being spent by football clubs in the modern era, supporters have taken an increased interest in players' wages as well as the outlays made to selling clubs in the transfer market.
And United have led the way in splashing out on playing contracts over the course of the Premier League era, signing themselves up to the five biggest deals in English history over the last five years, most recently with Sanchez.
But who gets what in the current United squad? Below, Goal goes through the Old Trafford pay-grades, listing the estimated weekly salary of the top-ranked Red Devils in terms of salary.

Young midfielder Scott McTominay has caused a stir in recent weeks by earning a first-team spot at the expense of Paul Pogba among others, but United's faith in him had already been proven in the autumn when they signed him to a new long-term deal which saw his salary rise to £20,000 a week.
He currently remains the club's lowest-paid first-team squad member though, with Marcus Rashford's similar basic wage topped up by a string of bonuses which push his take-home pay towards the £50,000 mark.

Marouane Fellaini looks set to leave Manchester United in the summer, with his refusal to sign a new Old Trafford deal thus far leaving him four months shy of free-agent status.
The Belgian could command a higher salary than his current £80,000 weekly pay elsewhere as a result, with United unable to command a transfer fee once his current contract runs out at the end of June.

Club captain Michael Carrick is the old statesman of Old Trafford these days, and is set to retire in the summer to take up a coaching role under Jose Mourinho.
In the meantime he will continue to earn £80,000 a week on the pitch and, while that's a drop on his previous wage in light of his decreasing involvement at first-team level, Carrick couldn't be more well thought of around Carrington.
11. Chris Smalling – £80,000
Former Fulham defender Chris Smalling has lost his England place in recent months, with his performances at club level with United failing to convince national boss Gareth Southgate of his continued quality.
But he remains a valuable member of the Old Trafford ranks despite some fluctuating form, and his £80,000 take-home wage is set to keep rolling in until 2020.
