Due to poor placement on the Premier League table, the club from Old Trafford decided to sanction their players.After being ruthlessly defeated by Brighton (4-0), Manchester United were definitely left without participation in the Champions League next season, and it is possible that they might not qualify for any of the European club competitions.It will be a big blow to the club’s budget, so the club’s executives decided to make a move they did after the end of the 2018/19 season, which they finished in sixth place and with placement in the Europa League instead of the desired place among the elite. The move was to reduce players’ salaries.Thu 21:45: (2.30) Tottenham (3.40) Arsenal (3.35)According to the Daily Mail, United will act in the same way again, and some players could be left without as much as 25 percent of their previous income. Among them, of course, is the highest-paid – Cristiano Ronaldo.The Portuguese has already agreed to a smaller amount when he returned from Juventus, however, he could now ‘fall’ to the lowest salary since he became a world-class star. And it’s been more than 15 years…Ronaldo currently earns 31 million euros a year (gross) at United. And according to the English paper – if he plays for Manchester United next season, he will have to agree to the amount of a little less than 350,000 euros a month.Red Devils humiliated four-nil and it’s not by the hand of a title contender… Far from itThe players have yet to talk to the club’s management on this topic, but it is clear that due to the missed opportunity for significant earnings from TV rights and UEFA premium bonuses – the Glazer brothers, American owners of the famous club, will be strict with the expensive stars of their team. We have already written that as many as five from United are among the ten highest-paid players in the Premier League.The previous time when the players’ salaries were reduced due to non-participation in the Champions League, they were returned to the previous level as soon as the team managed to return to the elite. It will be an additional motive for the team that will be led by Erik ten Hag from next season.
