Manchester United will save £750,000 a week on their wage bill with the departure of four players this summer, according to a report.

Manchester United will reportedly save £750,000 a week on their wage bill with the departure of four players at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.

Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard are all out of contract at the end of June, and the quartet are expected to leave Old Trafford on free transfers.

According to The Athletic, the four players earn a combined £750,000 a week, and their departures will see the 20-time English champions make huge savings on their wage bill.

Pogba has been an important player for the Red Devils since his return from injury at the start of February, but the France international still looks likely to leave on a free transfer this summer.

Cavani has only made 17 appearances for Man United this term, missing a number of matches through injury, and the striker is set for another long spell on the sidelines with a calf problem.

Mata, meanwhile, is yet to feature on a single occasion in the Premier League this season and continues to be linked with a move to Spain.

Lingard has played 19 times in all competitions but has largely struggled for regular action in 2021-22, featuring on only 13 occasions in the Premier League.
