This site for example, suggests Ibrahimovic 220 Pogba 290, De Gea 200, and Lukaku 200.. and now Alexis 270.
Whereas ours is Sergio 230 Yaya 230, Silva 210k, and assume this year KDB joins that +200k bracket.
Yaya and Big nose may have taken cuts since - not too sure - and both won't be here in the summer. But this might go some way towards explaining why their wage bill is higher.
Now this is a comparison! Might show the reason why they need players to commit over the next 2 years, a lot of changes to their squad!
Out of contract in the summer:
City: Fernandinho and Toure
United: Fellaini, Young, Shaw, Carrick and Ibra
Out of contract summer 2019:
City: Mangala and Kompany
United: Valencia, Mata, Darmian, De Gea, Rojo, Herrera, Smalling, Jones, Martial.
If all that information is correct (and I’m not doubting it/you), the Scum will need very deep pockets over the next few years and with squad re-building and their pyscho manager they’ll never reach our level over a PL season.
