Manchester United are one of the biggest names in world football - both on the pitch and off it.As a global brand the club have a certain responsibility to keep their supporters happy by ensuring that only the best players are playing at Old Trafford.But as we know, quality costs money.If Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is serious about taking United back to the top of the game after a mixed few years, they'll need to make sure that they can compete with their rivals.While the project of pushing towards a Premier League title is obviously a priority, it's key that they match their rivals financially as well.United have always been big-spenders in the transfer market, with vast sums being paid on fees.But if you look at the club's wage bill you can see that there's no pennies being spared there either.Dean Henderson is a player who has attracted plenty of attention after two successful seasons with Sheffield United.
Such have been the levels of his displays, he's being tipped to challenge David De Gea for the number one jersey this term.Solskjaer has even made the decision to try and extend his contract, with reports from the Manchester Evening News claiming that talks are ongoing.It's claimed that the club have offered him £100k per week to pen a deal deal - a vast sum by anyone's standards.But that's not the shocking part.Should Henderson sign the deal, The Sun claim that it would mean that Man United are spending a staggering £550k per week on goalkeepers alone, with the ex-Blade joining De Gea, Sergio Romero and Lee Grant on the wage bill.
