It was Ornstein and Laurie Whitwell who reported Hojlund's wage. Whitwell is Man United's most reliable reporter.

Chelsea are currently paying half of Sancho's wages. Hope that helps.

Although he grew up in France so who knows.

KaKa can probably confirm this as well, but we're very well supported in Africa. Not unlikely Mbeumo is a Man United fan.

Eh? I never said anything about Sancho's wage today and yes Rashford is on £300,00 a week. The image says £325,000, i.e. wrong. So yes, we'd be saving £150m over 5 years in the hypothetical scenario I gave yesterday (context is also required on that one), and yes the image shared by KaKa is wrong. Hope that helps.

Literally the first three names on the list were wrong. It even had Cunha on there when he's not even signed for us yet. So aye, it was a bit.

I don't blame Delap at all. He's young, and he's probably seen what happened with Hojlund with the pressure of being our starting #9 when you're not ready for it. Again though, Chelsea are a big draw themselves who also offer Champions League and of course the wages are a factor. The argument wasn't Chelsea vs. us.

Certainly appears to be fairly accurate for us. It doesn't factor in the CL clause but the base salaries appear to be spot on. Assuming it's entirely wrong for every other club though, depending on the argument.

This is the thing. What's a surprising season for you? Even if we finished 2nd people would say, "Well look at their team and wages. This is the minimum they should be getting." Outside of winning the title I don't think there will be any praise coming our way next season.

All things equal we win the race 9/10 times. Although I assume you mean equal with just wages. It's not romanticism. We are still a big draw, especially for players in their mid 20's. They likely grew up with us dominating. If we had another 10 years like the last 10 then the appeal will have diminished even further, but as of now there are still few clubs with a bigger draw. If players like Mbeumo didn't want to come to us, I don't think swapping 30k extra a week for playing CL football would be that much of a sacrifice.

Don't you start Jam.

The Glazers I believe were worse than Ashley. We don't need to get into that though. It's a sore point for all of us so no need to rehash it. Berrada and Wilcox are in control of the sporting side now, and I trust them to turn it around. Being part of the team to turn it around is obviously a huge appeal though KaKa. Do you not realise how Mbeumo/Cunha etc. would be treated if they banged in 20 goals and shot us up the table next season? Like Gods.

What have I got wrong? It's got so low that people are sharing images from The Sun which is just adding £25k on top of wages for no reason except to make it look worse than what it is. Doesn't include the well documented 25% CL clause, includes players who are still out loan with full salary coverage, includes players that haven't even signed yet. Then someone tries to counter that by sharing Capology, which I have been slated for. A resource that shows you pay your backup full backs double what we pay our starting ones. A resource that shows you paid a backup defender £150,000 a week. A resource that shows you pay £100,000 in backup keepers. I'm getting dragged into this with you, which is annoying. You know a lot (not all) of players would choose Man United over Newcastle regardless of wages, or at least I hope you know that. KaKa doesn't seem to believe it, instead acting like the club has no pull or prestige anymore because we finished 15th (albeit with a European final to contend).

Lucky enough. Big wage all the same. More than most of our squad. There's a suggestion that Newcastle are out here working with pennies when you're paying £100,000 a week for backup keepers.

Agreed. I don't think £180-200k for Cunha and Mbeumo is silly, but yes we've absolutely paid silly wages in the past and the contracts for Casemiro, Rashford, Antony, Mount etc. are ridiculous. I believe we're trying to fix that.

It's exactly what it was. You've openly stated Capology is bullshit when I've used it in the past as a reference, and you've just used it on me. Didn't realise your third choice keeper is on more money than Garnacho and Dorgu.

Nobody said good wages aren't a factor. It's just not the only factor, which is what you're trying to suggest.

Trippier and Targett on higher wages than over half our first 11. Wew.

Newcastle offered a backup defender wages that would have made him Man United's 6th highest paid player.

That was surprisingly easy to bait someone into using Capology. Didn't expect it to be you. £150,000 on Lloyd Kelly man.

Bruno Fernandes rejecting Saudi Arabia is good news – and not just for Manchester United - The Athletic https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6399684/2025/06/04/bruno-fernandes-rejected-al-hilal-why-it-should-be-celebrated/ Great article.

Yeah most of those are wrong, and I'm fairly sure that image is pulled from The Sun of all places. This is point we're trying to make. Opposition fans are pulling stats from the most bullshit of sources and try and pass it off as fact. You've just done the same thing and reinforced the point. You and many others on here (not everyone though to be fair) are suggesting that the only way Mbeumo/Cunha or any other player could possibly pick Man United over Newcastle is the wages. It's just not true though is it?

Oof. With Cunhas walking and Mbeumos head scratching this could be a bad deal.

Wow. PSR just doesn't apply to Man United.

Top 8 is definitely enough. Just need to see improvement now. We're an easy fanbase to keep on your side. Just don't lose every other game.
