Odion Ighalo Named In The Sunday Times Top 20 Richest Young Stars
They are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world so it is perhaps unsurprising to see Manchester United dominate the Sunday Times Rich List for those aged 30 or under.
There are five players inside the top 18 – with Paul Pogba leading the way from the Old Trafford outfit.
New entry Luke Shaw sits joint-13th with Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah at £19m.
Meanwhile, Ighalo is just beneath them in joint-15th. The on-loan striker’s £18m wealth is explained by his substantial £300,000-a-week wage at parent club Shanghai Shenhua.
Ighalo, who will be 31 in June, is on loan at United until the end of the month with the Premier League side contributing £130,000 a week towards his wages.
In the top 18, Anthony Joshua is the only non-footballer having made the cut.
