Man United may have shed as much as PS50million from their annual wage bill by the time they release their released list in June.

United have had another turbulent season, one that has left many supporters asking what their major earners are doing to justify their salaries.

The Red Devils' total wage bill stood at PS331m at the last count, the highest total in the Premier League.

With United flirting with the upper limits of the Premier League and UEFA's spending rules, news that three players are definitely leaving at the end of their contracts will be welcomed.

Whose contracts are set to expire at United? It has been confirmed Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial will move on after their deals expire, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka will also leave despite having a year left on his.

Meanwhile, Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton are not expected to see their deals renewed. There will be an announcement on their futures at some point in June.

How much will United save after five players leave the club Varane, who arrived at Old Trafford with big expectations following his move from Real Madrid, is on a reported wage of PS350,000 per week. That's PS18.2m per year, excluding bonuses and add-ons.

Martial meanwhile is on PS250,000 per week, which equates to PS13m per year. The forward has been at the club for almost a decade.

Heaton and Evans' wages are not known but analysis shows that their weekly packages are likely to be worth around PS50,000. Combined, that's another PS5.2m saved.

All in all, the five departing players will shave PS41.1m off the bill. With bonuses and add-ons taken into account, that will easily rise to PS50m.
