Ten Hag, a new acquisition who makes five times more than Garnacho, is robbing Man Utd.

Over the last ten or so years, Manchester United has been run into the ground, and their transfer policy has, for the most part, been blatantly ineffective.

With Erik ten Hag’s arrival, this has become even more evident, as the majority of the team’s highest paid players were signed within the last 18 months.
But now that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is in charge, he wants to turn United into a title contender once more, and work on that has already started behind the scenes.

Having come from Manchester City, Omar Berrada will be responsible for ensuring that the players’ pay stays below the rumored £300k per week.
Having said that, let’s examine a player who, although falling into that category, has been a major financial burden for the team since his summer arrival.Mason Mount’s Manchester United pay
Mason Mount blossomed at Chelsea, and it appeared that he would play his entire career there. However, Ten Hag expressed interest in bringing the midfield player to Old Trafford last summer, even though he only appeared in 13 games in 2023.

The 25-year-old paid approximately £60 million to join Manchester United, where he was also given the number seven shirt. John Murtough, the football director of United, said:

Mason is a phenomenal player in his own right, but his game intelligence and tactical awareness also allow him to elevate the players around him. As we work to improve our performance levels for the upcoming season, we were especially struck by Mount’s great ambition to join United and his quest for more success. His contract is set to expire in June 2028, and in exchange, he will receive a gross base pay of £13.3 million annually. Consequently, the former Blues player still has an incredible £65 million in earnings remaining on his deal.

This indicates that he has already cost the team millions of pounds, as this amounts to an average of £250k each week without bonuses.

What Mount is paid in contrast to Garnacho
A player’s pay is meaningless if their on-field accomplishments justify their expenses, but Mount’s early start in Manchester has been disastrous due to injuries, missing 24 games already.
