Manchester United 2026/27 Salaries: Marcus Rashford Set to Share Top Earner Status

Manchester United enters the 2026/27 season with renewed optimism following a successful finish under permanent manager Michael Carrick. After Ruben Amorim was dismissed following 14 chaotic months in charge, Carrick stepped in as interim manager in January and revitalized the squad, leading United to a third-place finish in the Premier League with 11 wins from 16 games and securing a return to the Uefa Champions League.

With Carrick now signed on a permanent deal until 2028, he faces increased expectations from supporters. A key question for the new campaign is whether Marcus Rashford will be part of the squad. Following a productive loan spell at Barcelona—where the Catalan club ultimately chose not to make the transfer permanent—Rashford is expected to return to Old Trafford and share the title of the club's highest-earning player.

Data compiled from capology.com, spotrac.com, and club reports reveals the complete list of top earners at Manchester United for the 2026/27 season:
