Manchester United are set to enforce a ‘Ronaldo rule’ which will stop new signings from earning more than £200,000 per week in wages.
A de-facto salary cap of £200,000 per week is set to be enforced at Old Trafford, in an attempt to bring harmony to the squad.
According to The Daily Mail, Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined the Red Devils in the summer of 2021 before leaving in November last year, was the highest-earning player in the squad with a salary of £385,000 per week.
Currently, David de Gea draws a club-high £375,000 per week, but his existing contract runs out at the end of the season. Reportedly, the Spanish goalkeeper will be offered a new deal, though he will have to take a significant pay cut in line with the new policy.
Other senior members of the squad, namely Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire and Casemiro, all earn in the bracket of £180,000 to £200,000 per week.
