Among those were England regular Kobbie Mainoo, whose contract, inked in January 2023, is said to be worth £20,000 a week, a shade over £1m per year.
It was also worth more than deputy goalkeeper Altay Bayindir‘s contract, thought to be £35,000 a week, or £1.8m per year.
Amad Diallo‘s deal is said to be worth £1.5m a year (£28,800 a week), and is set to expire at the end of the season, although United possess the option to extend it by a further 12 months.
All the trophies Sir Alex Ferguson won as Manchester United manager:
Premier League x13
FA Cup x5
League Cup x4
Champions League x2
European Cuper Winners’ Cup
European Super Cup
Intercontinental Cup
Club World Cup
Meanwhile, youngsters Dan Gore and Harry Amass are also claimed to be earning in the region of £5,000 a week, £260,000 a year, far less than Ferguson was on.
With Sir Alex set to turn 83 on December 31, his Man Utd ambassadorial role is just one of several time-consuming activities he will be stepping back from.

Alex Pereira defended his UFC light heavyweight belt with a hard-fought TKO victory over Khalil Rountree earlier this month in Salt Lake City, and making weight for the title bout required hours of sweat and hard work.
“Poatan”, a former UFC middleweight champion, posted a video on his YouTube channel showing behind the scenes footage of the final days of cutting weight for the bout, and then going all the way up to 228.2 pounds upon arrival at the Delta Center.
The video shows Pereira doing the face paint before the final face-off and relaxing on fight day, watching his teammate Cesar Almeida secure his second UFC win on the same card, defeating Ihor Potieria via decision, and his post-fight celebration.

England were knocked out of the Women’s T20 World Cup at the end of the group stage after a sloppy all-round performance against West Indies in Dubai.
They dropped five catches – all off opener Qiana Joseph – as West Indies produced a stunning run chase of 142 to reach the semi-finals at England’s expense.
Joseph was first dropped on six and then 31 and 35 before departing for a crucial 52 from 38 balls, while captain Hayley Matthews also added a half-century in an opening stand of 102.
It is West Indies’ first T20 win over England since 2018, and the first time England have failed to make it out of the group stage of the tournament since 2010.
