Manchester United players are obliged to play at least 60% of the minutes in a season in order to activate a potential Champions League bonus in their contracts and receive a salary increase.That’s the rule now, but according to the Manchester Evening News, it wasn’t always in place. That’s why Marcus Rashford is set for a hefty £4 million-a-year pay rise, despite making his last appearance for the Red Devils over a year ago!So Rashford gets a 25% salary increase because United qualified for the Champions League… despite not contributing to the qualification. What nonsense is that ?— DAIO (@Theifedayo) August 9, 2026 When the Englishman signed his deal with the club, the “60% rule” wasn’t yet in force, meaning he will cost United an additional £8 million over the next two years, with his contract running until 2028 – all because they are back in the Champions League after a one-season absence.Unless, of course, they manage to sell him. That doesn’t seem particularly likely at the momen..

It’s time for a new chapter in Ronald Araujo’s career.After beginning his career at Rentistas and Boston River in his homeland, the defender joined Barcelona in 2019 at 20 and hasn’t left since.At one point, he even became the team captain, but his mental struggles and a two-month break from football saw him slip down the pecking order.Araujo’s confession: “I had anxiety for 18 months, I did not feel good”Upon his return, he was primarily used as Hansi Flick’s bench option, while a muscle injury ruled him out of the World Cup, where he didn’t feature, despite being included in the Uruguay squad.Therefore, it was time for a change, and it came in the form of a season-long loan to Liverpool, where he will be a valuable addition to Andoni Iraola’s back line, providing another centre-back, alongside Virgil van Dijk, Jeremy Jacquet, and Giovanni Leoni.Araujo’s arrival should help fill the void left by Ibrahima Konate’s move to Real Madrid and give the team greater depth in defence.Watch Ron..
