Man Utd’s staggering wage bill and what sacking Ronaldo would mean financially

Manchester United are weighing up whether they can tear up Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract with the club following on from his explosive interview with Piers Morgan

Manchester United are preparing to sack Cristiano Ronaldo in a move that would make a significant dent in the highest wage bill ever assembled.

The club may be in a position to tear up the superstar’s contract if they are advised under employment law that his behaviour is a serious enough breach of discipline. Ronaldo has no future at Old Trafford following his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.

Ronaldo, 37, launched a dramatic attack on his employers and their new manager in a bombshell interview with Morgan. A clip of him discussing how he felt “betrayed” by the club was published late on Sunday evening and the full interview will be released this week.

United’s annual wage bill is an eye-watering £384.2million – the largest in the Premier League. It is no surprise that Ronaldo is the highest earner not only at the club but in the league. The Portuguese superstar earns £515,385 per week at Old Trafford with his contract running to 30 June 2023.
