Erling Haaland is now the Premier League's highest paid player(Image: AP)

Erling Haaland's new £500,000-a-week contract has seen the Norway forward overtake Kevin De Bruyne to become the best paid player in the Premier League.

Rashford, who is on-loan at Aston Villa from Old Trafford, and Raheem Sterling, on a season-long loan at Arsenal from Chelsea, each earn £1.4m a month.

All three of those could be on the move at the end of the season, with United hoping to facilitate deals for both Rashford and Casemiro, while Sterling's long-term future at Stamford Bridge is in serious doubt.

Pep Guardiola signed a two-year contract extension in November and now earns £1.65m a month - a figure only bettered by Haaland and De Bruyne in the Premier League.

Atletico Madrid’s Diego Simeone remains the best paid coach in the world on a monthly gross salary of £1.8m.

Who do you think is the Premier League's best player?

Let us know here

Kylian Mbappe replaced his Real Madrid team-mate Vinicius Jr as the highest paid player in La Liga when the Frenchman signed a five-year contract last summer.

He received a €100m (£83.64m) signing on fee and a gross salary of €32m (£26.76m).

But L’Equipe claims the France captain’s decision to leave Paris-Saint Germain was not financial as he gave up earning more with a proposed contract extension with the French champions worth a potential £209m including bonuses or he could have banked £250m signing for Saudi club Al-Hilal.

Mbappe, 26, has the chance to win his first Champions League title this season with Real Madrid facing Arsenal in next month’s quarter-finals. PSG ’s Ousmane Dembele, who scored at Anfield, is now the highest paid player in Ligue 1 on £1.24m a month.

Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane is the top earner in the Bundesliga on £1.75m a month with Vincent Kompany the best remunerated coach on £627,000 a month ahead of Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso on £355,000.
