Casemiro is Manchester United's current highest earner, ahead of Portuguese midfielder, Bruno Fernandes who makes about £300,000 per week.

At third comes a surprise entrant in Mason Mount. The former Chelsea man is yet to establish himself at Old Trafford despite being on such high wages.

Rounding off the list at fourth and fifth position are centre-backs Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire respectively.

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 the number five spot belongs to yet another Manchester City player in Jack Grealish.

Despite Casemiro's astronomical wages at Manchester United, him or none of the Premier League players come close to salaries of the highest-paid players in the world.

At the pinnacle sits the 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.
