Joshua Zirkzee salary: How much does Manchester United star earn per week and annually in the Premier League?

Under his current contract with Manchester United, Joshua Zirkzee earns £105,000 ($135,689) on a weekly basis, while his annual salary scales up to £5.46 million ($7.05m).

Acquiring the top spot in the Manchester United wage bill is former Real madrid midfielder Casemiro.

The Brazilian is followed by Bruno Fernandes at second position, while Mason Mount makes an appearance at number three despite having played very limited football since his arrival from Chelsea.

Next in the list comes Dutch centre-back Matthijs de ligt as the fourth-highest earner, while rounding off the list at number five is yet another centre-back in Harry Maguire.

Casemiro is not only the highest earner at Manchester United, but also the fourth highest earner across the Premier League.

The top spot belongs to Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, followed by his Manchester City team-mate Kevin De Bruyne.

At number three comes Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, while the number five spot belongs to yet another Manchester City player in Jack Grealish.

Despite the astronomical wages of the top earners in the Premier League, they don't even come close to salaries of the highest-paid players in the world.

At the pinnacle sits the all-time top goal-scorer of the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently plays his football for Al Nassr, followed by his former Real Madrid attacking partner Karim Benzema.

Meanwhile, former Manchester City player Riyad Mahrez makes an appearance at number three, followed by Senegalese internationals Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly.

All five highest paid players in the world currently play in the Saudi Pro League.
