Alexis Sanchez has 'earned' £16,000-per-minute of Premier League action this season for Manchester United, according to the Sportsman.
The publication has compiled data from the start of the season (August 10) until February 11 to document how much each player at the Red Devils has earned in the Premier League for the 2018-19 campaign.
To calculate the figures, as reported by the Sun, the Sportsman deducted wages from players for the weeks they have been out injured, then divided their collective earnings during the course of the campaign and divided it by the minutes played in the league.
So in the case of Sanchez, who they report earns £505,000-a-week, he has been available for 19 of United's 26 matches. Those numbers multiplied equate to £9,595,000. If you divide £9,595,000 by 615 (the number of Premier League minutes he's played this season so far) then you get to £15,601 - his figure earned per minute.
This figure is in stark contrast to in-form Marcus Rashford who has 'earned'£767-per-minute according to the Sportsman's data.
They say the club's No 10 earns £45k-a-week and has played 1,525 minutes of top-flight football this season.

If this information is authentic, then Utd owners need to tell us if Sanchez is a shareholder in the club to be collecting this huge sum , yet he plays lesser minutes than the rest , the terms of his contract is still a mirage for many , it's only De gea , Pogba and Rashford that are entitled to such mind blowing pay package.
