Manchester United are dolling out astronomical sums on players who have largely under-delivered this campaign.
Erik Ten Hag's side have suffered their worst start to a season in 61 years but remain 6th in the Premier League after winning their last two games in the league.
The Red have battled several injury issues since the start of the campaign, with many high earners including; Casemiro and Mason Mount in the treatment room.
Manchester United's top 6 highest earners have only amassed 29 starts this campaign, although we can also attribute the reason for this to manager Ten Hag.
Jadon Sancho remains unavailable for selection following a squabble with Erik Ten Hag after the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal in September 2023.
Mason Mount, who was reportedly a transfer priority of Ten Hag has also failed to impress since joining the club and have had to make do on many occasions with a slot on the bench.
Mount and Jadon Sancho both earn £250,000 weekly, with Anthony Martial also just managing two starts this season.
These 3 players earn a combined sum of £29 million yearly and under-whelmingly, they have contributed 0 goals, 0 assists, and just 6 Premier League starts this campaign.
Carlos Henrique Casemiro, who is currently out injured, and Raphael Varane, who is reportedly not on good terms with Erik Ten Hag have both been linked with a move away from Old Trafford.
The pair have also battled injury issues this campaign, with Varane back in action, but Casemiro is battling injury issues of his own.
Both players have been courted by clubs in Saudi Arabia, who want to bolster their squads with the quality of the duo.
It is believed that If Casemiro and Varane both leave Manchester United, it will free up about £36 million of the club's wage bill.
This money could be utilized to sign new defenders like Jean-Clair Todibo and Edmund Tapsoba, who have reportedly been admired by the Red Devils.
The only player in the top 5, who enjoys regular footballing action is Marcus Rashford, and he hasn't even been himself this campaign. He earns about £325,000 weekly at Manchester United.
Rashford only this campaign game against Arsenal, in their 3-1 loss to the Gunners in September 2023.
The Englishman's finishing has been utterly poor this campaign, and his other attacking contributions like creating chances have been utterly poor.
