Radamel Falcao eclipses Wayne Rooney to become Man United's highest earner?

Manchester United reportedly make new loan signing Radamel Falcao the highest-paid player at the club, eclipsing captain Wayne Rooney's salary.

Manchester United's transfer deadline-day capture of Radamel Falcao has reportedly resulted in the Colombian becoming the highest-paid player in the club's ranks.

United captain Wayne Rooney is believed to have had the largest salary of around £250,000 per week until Falcao moved to Old Trafford yesterday on a season-long loan from Monaco.

According to the Daily Star, United have denied that they are paying Falcao around £350,000 per week, but it is believed that the 28-year-old, who reportedly tried to initially engineer a move to Real Madrid, is now the club's highest earner.

Reports have claimed that the striker is expected to pocket around £18m in wages during his season at the North-West outfit, who paid Monaco a £6m loan fee for his services.

United have confirmed that there is an option to buy at the end of Falcao's loan, with reports stating that the French outfit want £45m for him.
