Marcus Rashford has climbed up the ladder of the best-paid players in the Premier League after he landed a new bumper contract with Manchester United.

On July 18, the England international penned a new deal that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2028, ending the speculation over his future at Man United.

According to Metro UK, the uncertainty that surrounded Rashford's future with the Red Devils put a number of European clubs on red alert, including Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

However, he has now pledged his future to the Manchester club, crediting the decision to manager, Erik ten Hag.

The Mirror reports the United star's new bumper deal will see him pocket around 375,000 euros a week. The eye-watering wages have him among the highest-paid players in the Premier League.

Haaland tops EPL earner's list

Manchester City hotshot, Erling Haaland, is understood to be the highest-earning player in the English top flight. The Norwegian, who switched from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022, is believed to be pocketing a mouthwatering £865,000 a week.

The wages are more than double what his teammate, Kevin De Bruyne, is earning at the Etihad Stadium outfit. The Belgian playmaker is said to be on a £385,000-a-week paycheck, making him the second-best earning EPL player.

Incredibly, the top 10 list of best-paid players includes two surprises, key among them forgotten Chelsea star and Inter Milan loanee, Romelu Lukaku.
