Back in the Premier League, Pogba is thought to be earning £290,000-per-week at United, working out at £15,062,000-per-year, which is £3,762,000 less than his former colleague.

Aubameyang is said to be on £350,000-per-week at Arsenal, which is closer to the wage of Fellaini, seeing him earn £18,200,000-per-year, and only £624,000 less than Fellaini.
