Manchester United and Man City in top three Premier League spenders on wages, says report

Manchester United are the second highest spender in the Premier League on player wages, according to a new report.

The Red Devils were found to spend over £211million per year on their players, just £200,000 less than Chelsea.

Man City, with a wage bill of £182m, were third on the list released by online independent casino reviewer CasinoBonusCA.

The amount clubs spent on wages aren’t a direct reflection of the Premier League table – leaders Arsenal spend £80m less on their player wages than Man City and less than half Man United’s budget.

Liverpool (£158m) and Spurs (£110m) complete the top five, with Brentford in last place with £30m.

The highest paid player at United right now is David de Gea with a salary of £19.5m per year. 

His team are currently ahead of Manchester City’s most expensive player Kevin De Bruyne, who earns £20.8m annually.
