Cristiano Ronaldo's £480k-a-week wages at Man United make him best paid Premier League star

Cristiano Ronaldo's sensational return to Manchester United will see him earn £480,000-a-week - making him the highest paid player in the Premier League.

The 36-year-old sealed a dramatic move back to United on Friday after he looked set to join rivals Manchester City just hours before.

The move will see him return to the Red Devils 12 years after leaving for Real Madrid and he now looks set to become the highest paid player in the top flight, overtaking the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Harry Kane and David de Gea.
