Alexis Sanchez has become the highest-paid player in Premier League history after on an 23million-per-year deal with Manchester United.

The Chile international left Arsenalfor the 20-time English champions Monday, signing a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Red Devils .

As a result, Alexis replaces former United forward Wayne Rooney as the biggest earner the Ryan McMahon Jersey Premier League has ever seen, as the former England captain was on 300,000 a week at Old Trafford until he joined boyhood club Everton in the summer of 2017.

Upon returning to Merseyside in the summerRooney signed a deal worth around half of his United salary, but no other contract in Premier League history had been worth more than the former England captain's until Sanchez's arrival at Old Trafford.

Manchester Daniel Murphy Jersey United are also responsible for the next three salaries on the Premier League's highest-paid playerslist, with Paul Pogbas 290,000-a-week contract being signed in 2016 as part of his then world-record 89.5m move from Juventus.

Interestingly, the fourth highestsalary was handed to Radamel Falcao during his 12 months on loan from Monaco in 2014-15, with the Colombians four goals in 29 appearances coming at the princely German Marquez Jersey sum of 265,000 a week.

Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku earns Scott Oberg Jersey 250,000 a week having signed for United last summer from Everton, while Zlatan Ibrahimovics 220,000 pay packet is matched by the salaries of Manchester City pair Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure.

Uniteds David de Gea and Chelseas Eden Hazard both take home 200,000 per week, while Liverpool have replaced Philippe Coutinhos 180,000 weekly bill with a similar deal for 75m defender Virgil van Dijk.

Sanchez was previously on around 140,000 with Arsenal but, having entered the final six months of his contract at the Emirates, the 29-year-old has made the most of his decreased transfer value by raking in a Premier League record contract.

Lionel Me si is believed to command the highest current weekly salary in Gerardo Parra Jersey world football, with the four-year contract he signed with Barcelona in 2017 entitling him to wages of around 500,000 per week.

However, Carlos Tevez was raking in even more than that at Shanghai Shenhua before returning to Boca Juniors in early January. The former Manchester United striker was earning Chris Rusin Jersey around 650,000 a week over the course of his 12-month spell in China which he has since joked was merely a "holiday".
