Third Goalkeeper Out-earns Young Stars

The club's third-highest paid goalkeeper, Altay Bayındır, earns an annual salary of €2.1M. This is more than promising young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo (€1.5M) and a trio of young defenders on identical €1.5M contracts.

United's Two-Tier Midfield Wage Gap

The €7.2M Club: Martínez, Ugarte, Diallo
