But how is that possible, you probably think…. Andre Onana plays football in Turkey for Trabzonspor, but Marcus Rashford is indeed a Barcelona player. – Well, they are both on loan and still under contract with Manchester United.

Manchester United beat Liverpool 3-2 in a five-goal thriller at Old Trafford on Sunday to secure a top-five finish with three games remaining. – The win was the club’s tenth of 14 games in the Premier League since Michael Carrick was hired on an interim basis in January (until the end of the season).

Champions League Bonus

The Manchester United players have extra reason to celebrate that they are back in the Champions League. – The bulk of Michael Carrick’s squad is now rewarded with a salary increase of around 25 percent – because they have secured a top-five finish in the Premier League.

Captain Bruno Fernandes will see his weekly salary rise to around £250,000 (around £3.4 million).

– Salary increase two years after the cut

The salary increase comes two years after the Old Trafford stars had to accept a pay cut when they failed to qualify for the Champions League. Interestingly, both goalkeeper Andre Onana and Marcus Rashford will benefit from the wage increase – despite being loaned to Trabzonspor and Barcelona respectively.

Andre Onana is currently raking in an annual salary of €3.75 million, which is far lower than Marcus Rashford who is one of the top ten highest paid in Europe with a salary of €14 million.

No wonder Manchester United are working hard to sell both Rashford and Onana in the summer. – And as always… wages are a problem when Manchester United players are sold.

Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo recently signed new contracts, precisely with Manchester United in mind that Manchester United would be back in Europe’s most prestigious tournament.
