This is reportedly one of the efforts taken by coach Erik ten Hag and CEO Richard Arnold to create a cohesive team. According to the report, the club plans to implement a wage restriction in order to end a “culture of dressing-room jealousy.” Fighting and dissatisfaction were frequent in the United locker room last season.
Many players, including goalkeeper David de Gea, will be impacted once the new rule goes into effect. Currently, the Spanish goalkeeper makes £ 375,000 a week. Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Casemiro, and as of recently, Bruno Fernandes, among other key players, make between £180,000 and £200,000 a week. Marcus Rashford’s contract has had a one-year extension clause triggered by the club, therefore his current deal will end in 2024.
