Manchester United news: Alexis Sanchez, Paul Pogba and other players to take pay cut for failing to qualify for Champions League
Manchester Uniteds players will take 25 per cent pay cuts because of their failure to qualify for the Champions League.The 20-time English champions’ 1-1 draw at Huddersfield killed off any hope of finishing in the top four, as Chelsea and Tottenham – barring some extraordinary turn of events – will take third and fourth place.2

Alexis Sanchez is Man United’s best paid player and is said to earn around 500,000-a-week

How many of the current first team will still be there next season remains to be seen.Alexis Sanchez, who earns a reported 500,000-a-week, is understood to be one player the club want rid of and it has even been claimed United are willing to pay half of his wages to get him off their books.I cant talk about individuals now but theres a chance youve seen the last of [some] players, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said. We werent good enough . . . the table seldom lies.Effort and attitude was not the problem. The players were running and trying. We just werent good enough. That is the problem.” Arsenal can still join the other English sides in next season’s competition if they win the Europa League.For United, however, this is the fourth time since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as manager of the club in 2013 that they have failed to finish in the top four.And it could get even worse for the club. Currently, United are sixth and one point behind Arsenal with a home game against Cardiff City to play.If they finish sixth and Watford beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final on 18 May, they will have to go through three rounds of Europa League qualifying to reach the group stage. The first of those three matches is on 25 July when United are due to face Spurs in a friendly in Shanghai.2
