Sanchez moved to Old Trafford, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan moving the other way in an wonderful swap deal.

The Chilean has signed a £350,000-a-week contract with the Red Devils, which is by far the highest deal ever signed by a footballer in England.

Sanchez earns £60,000 a week more than previous top earner, team-mate Paul Pogba.

Manchester City playmaker, Kevin De Bruyne, who signed a new deal at the Etihad Stadium until 2023, is third.

The list of the highest earners is dominated by Manchester, with City and United paying the eight biggest wages in the Premier League.

The only non-Manchester based players in the top 10 are Eden Hazard at Chelsea and new Liverpool signing, Virgil van Dijk.
