The struggling Old Trafford club spend an outrageous ?332million a year - around ?6.5m-a-week - on player wages alone. There is little to justify the exuberant amount of money the club spends on their players, with the results on the pitch anything but good.
That sky-high tally has grown by ?100m in the last three years alone - with the likes of Alexis Sanchez taking in ?505,000-a-week by himself. The Chilean has be loaned to Italian giants Inter Milan, but it is reported United pay majority of his wages.

Meanwhile, the report shows Liverpool (?264m per year), Manchester City (?260m), Chelsea (?244m), Arsenal (?223m) and Tottenham (?148m) are all spending considerably less than United.
As expected, Twitter users started to pound further misery by having a laugh about the whole matter.
Here are lots of numbers that show if you spend loads on wages, you should do pretty well in the Premier League compared to those who don't.

Takeaway: Man Utd really not doing it since alchemist Fergie hung up his cloak. pic.twitter.com/uzObWRkAH3
So Rashford in 18/19 scored 13 goals in 47 games. Then over the summer Man Utd double his wages. No wonder they are where they are. Shambles.

#MUFC are reportedly paying ?150,000 a week of Alexis Sanchez's Inter Milan wages this season.

Hugely concerning that Dick Ed #Woodward is running around @ManUtd handing out huge contracts to underperforming players like Lingard. No wonder our wage bill is so high & we can only afford to bring in 3 new signings. The rebuild is gonna be looooong at this rate! #MUFC #ManUtd

? Highest wage bill in Premier League history
When you realise United are paying record amounts for a squad containing Lingard, Young and Fred... ??https://t.co/b2xHFE7GMF
Nothing is going to plan for Manchester United - they can't seem to catch a break.
For the money they are paying, players should be performing and winning matches, but they are doing neither.
