Injuries have left Ten Hag's squad exposed and led to an embarrassing scramble for last minute deals
), a respected research organisation based in Switzerland, offer some insight into the bloated squad Ten Hag inherited.
The sums rank United’s £195m annual wage bill top of the Premier League in that period, £15m higher than champions Manchester City. Marcus Rashford has since signed a new £375,000 a week deal making him better paid than any at United, and at City for that matter, bar Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland on £400,000.
Casemiro also banks £350,000 a week. Raphael Varane earns £340,000 and yet again is facing a long injury lay-off. Both Casemiro and Varane reflect United’s reactionary transfer dealings, a combined fee of £105m splashed in desperation on experienced internationals the wrong side of 30. Varane, 30, spent a decade at Real Madrid. Casemiro, 31, was 23 when he became a Blanco. That would have been the time to get him.
