Premier League players' wages for this season have been revealed by Spotrac.com.
The new salary list sees Manchester United being the biggest spenders on wages for their first-team squad with striker Alexis Sanchez being among Old Trafford's best-paid players despite being out on loan at Serie A side Inter Milan.
Perhaps more surprisingly in the list, Manchester United are paying Sanchez more than Sheffield United's entire team earn.
Sheffield United pay their footballers £14 million a year, while Sanchez earns £21m annually.
That means he earns £16.5m yearly from Manchester United while he's on loan at Inter Milan who pay £4.5 million of his £21m annually.
