Matheus Cunha becomes Man Utd’s joint fourth highest earner as his wages are revealed – and he could soon rise to second
MATHEUS CUNHA has become one of the highest-earning players at Manchester United.
The 26-year-old joined the club in a £62.5million transfer from Wolves at the weekend subject to visa clearance.
Cunha penned a five-year deal with the option to extend for another 12 months.
And now his wages have been revealed.
The Telegraph reports that Cunha will earn £200,000-a-week at Old Trafford.
It is a huge increase on the £120,000-a-month wages he took home at Wolves.
The Brazilian winger is now one of the higest-earning players at United.
Following his move to Old Trafford he will now earn the same as Antony, who spent the second half of this season on loan at Real Betis.
Only Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount take home more.
Casemiro, 33, remains Man Utd’s higest earner with a weekly wage of £375,000.

Club captain Fernandes, 30, and Rashford, 27, take home £325,000-a-week.
Meanwhile, Mount, 26, earns £250,000-a-week in Manchester.
Cunha could potentially make his way up the list depending on how the transfer window pans out for United this summer.
Casemiro, Fernandes, Rashford and Antony have all been linked with a move away.
Fernandes could be the biggest loss for the Red Devils should he leave.
The Portuguese midfielder allegedly received an offer worth £700,000-a-week from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal last week.
United were also offered a £100m fee to sign him.
However, head coach Ruben Amorim insists he wants the midfielder to stay at Old Trafford.
Rashford, meanwhile, is expected to leave having fallen out with Amorim prior to his Aston Villa loan spell.
Barcelona are understood to be keen on a potential move.
