REVEALED: Fellaini now paid more at Man Utd than De Gea

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has emerged as the fourth highest paid player at the club.

The Sun says he is now the fourth-highest paid player at Manchester United on a staggering £150,000-a-week AFTER tax, it can be revealed.

The Belgian midfielder was set to quit Old Trafford in the summer as he had let his contract run down.

He managed to negotiate a new mega-deal though, as desperate United clawed to keep on to the 30-year-old.

And now only Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba take home more than him at the Red Devils after HMRC take their cut.

David De Gea – who is in talks over a new deal – takes home around £200,000-a-week at present, but even he is eclipsed by Fellaini after tax.
