Here are the current 10 highest paid players at Old Trafford after all the ins and outs, with statistics courtesy of Purely Football.

10. Daley Blind – £75,000-a-week

One of six new signings with the 24-year-old knowing van Gaal well from the time they spent together with the Netherlands national team.

9. David de Gea – £75,000-a-week

Since arriving at United in 2010 the Spaniard has greatly improved to become recognised as one of the best goalkeepers in world football.

8. Ander Herrera – £80,000-a-week

The second new face now and after pursuing the midfielder 12 months ago the Red Devils finally landed Herrera from Athletic Bilbao for £29m.

7. Ashley Young – £115,000-a-week

There could be a few raised eyebrows at this one as the winger has largely been a disappointment for the last few seasons.

6. Juan Mata – £130,000-a-week

For six months the Spain international was the club record signing after completing his £37.1m move from Chelsea in January as former boss David Moyes tried desperately to salvage things.

5. Luke Shaw – £150,000-a-week

This is another surprise inclusion as although a high profile signing, at 19-years-old Shaw has been made the highest paid teenager in history at the Theatre of Dreams.

4. Andel di Maria – £230,000-a-week

Not only did di Maria’s £59.7m transfer make him the club’s most expensive ever purchase, he now is a British record holder and has a wage packet that reflects that.

3. Robin van Persie – £250,000-a-week

An established figure at the club now and someone who will be hoping he can get his career back on track under the guidance of fellow Dutchman van Gaal.

2. Radamel Falcao – £280,000-a-week

It was something of a shock on deadline day when United secured this established goalscorer from AS Monaco on-loan and Falcao’s lofty reputation is shown by his earnings.

1. Wayne Rooney – £300,000-a-week

Moyes sanctioned making Rooney the highest paid player in British history last term and now with the captain’s armband also the 28-year-old needs to start showing he is worth it.
