How much Man Utd’s women get compared to men’s team… with staggering huge pay gap compared to Ronaldo and Co
MANCHESTER UNITED’S women are on average earning just a fraction of their male counterparts each week.
Marc Skinner’s side finished an impressive fourth in last season’s WSL, 14 points off winners Chelsea.
But there is a huge pay gap when compared to the men, who could only muster a sixth-place Premier League finish last term as they finished 35 points off Man City.
A BBC study this month revealed the average WSL player earns £47,000 a year – around £900 a week.
Meanwhile, the average Premier League star earns £60k a week.
At United, the Telegraph claims most stars are picking up between £50k-£90k each year, making for an average annual salary of £70k.
In terms of a weekly wage, this works out to around £1,350.
And compared to the figures secured by the underperforming men’s team, it is a pittance.
Bar one player, of all the aces who started United’s opening day Prem defeat to Brighton, the lowest weekly wage in the side was £120k.
Meanwhile, over £200k-a-week is handed to Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes.
