With Mancheser United reportedly set to introduce a wage cap, former Premier League left-back Stephen Warnock believes that the club should be fearful of players leaving.
According to the Daily Mail, United are set to cap wages at £200,000 per week in hope of eliminating any risk of jealousy in the changing room. The news comes after Cristiano Ronaldo had his contract mutually terminated at Old Trafford, where he was earning £500,000 per week.
Speaking to Sky Sports about the risks involved with the salary changes, Warnock said: “If it’s only Manchester United then other teams will say ‘well, we’ll pay you it. Come to us’. That’s the issue they have. Now, if all the top teams turn around and say they’re happy to cap the salary, that then changes the goalpost completely.
“It’s a difficult one because of the position they’re in, they almost have to pay over the odds to get people in, and we’ve seen that with some of the signings they’ve made, whether it’s a fee or wages as well.
“If broadcast rights continue to rise, ticket prices continue to rise, the players almost expect to see some of that themselves. They’re the ones that they come to watch so why are they not getting rewarded for it?”
