Alexis Sanchez reportedly pockets a staggering £75,000 every time he plays for Manchester United .
The Chilean joined United in January 2018 from Arsenal and became the club's highest earner with his wages at around £400,000-a-week, plus bonuses.
Sanchez's salary is significantly more than the likes of Paul Pogba and David de Gea although he is yet to justify United's enormous outlay.
And it has now emerged that the former Arsenal man's wages are boosted by a huge 'appearance fee'.
Sanchez has made just 42 appearances for Arsenal since his move but his arrival has seen the Old Trafford wage bill increase, reports Metro.

Sanchez returned from injury as a substitute in the midweek defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League.
It is unclear if boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will look to cash in this summer although there are suggestions the United board are reluctant to let him go, such has been the financial investment.
Sanchez's wages have also seen his teammates raise their demands with the likes of De Gea and Marcus Rashford seeking a significant rise.
The outlay on Sanchez is likely to see United change their recruitment strategy this summer, with the club also remaining on the lookout for a new technical director.
