The likes of Bruno Fernandes could be earning as much as £290,000 a week if Manchester United finish in the top four this season.
On Thursday, the Red Devils moved a point closer to Champions League football, but in reality missed a great chance to put clear daylight between themselves and the chasing pack after blowing a 2-0 lead at Spurs. Goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford had put Erik ten Hag's men in control at half time, only for Pedro Porro and Son Heung-Min to ensure a 2-2 draw for the hosts.
Despite Ten hag lambasting his players for ignoring 'obvious' instructions afterwards, United remain in a strong position to return to Europe's top table though, six points clear of Harry Kane and co with two games in hand. And the players have extra incentive for staying in the top four over their seven remaining games.
