Alexis Sanchez earns more than an entire Sheffield United team

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.

Sheffield United's average weekly wage is the lowest in the Premier League at just £9,000 and by comparison Manchester United are in the 9th position in the current Premier League table, one point behind Sheffield United.

David de Gea is Manchester United's highest-paid player on £375,000 (Sh49million) a week followed by Sanchez who earns £350,000 (Sh46million) a week with Paul Pogba coming third on £290,000 (Sh38million) a week.

Another notable earner is Tottenham Hotspur Midfielder Victor Wanyama who earns a staggering 3,380,000 (Sh436million) annually.

That works out as approximately £65,000 (Sh8.3 million), per week for the Harambee Stars captain who now is 14th in Tottenham Hotspur’s latest Payroll.

Manchester City duo Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling are among the highest-paid players at the club earning £350,000 (Sh46million) and £300,000 (Sh39million) a week respectively with Sergio Aguero also featuring in the list at number three on a £230,135 (Sh30million) weekly salary.
