Incredibly, five of the wealthiest sports stars aged 30 or under on the planet all play football at Old Trafford.

According to the Times, Pogba is worth a staggering £50million thanks to his £290,000 per week pay-packet at United.

That's good for third, behind boxer Anthony Joshua (£107m), the only non-footballer on the list, in second.

AJ's wealth shot up in the past 12 months, leaping by £58m, as he pocketed an estimated £60m for his rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia in December.

But Pogba doesn't even come close to the most-wealthy young sports star and top footballer - Real Madrid's Gareth Bale, worth an incredible £114m.

The Welsh star pockets a staggering £350,000 a week AFTER tax at the Bernabeu.

De Gea sits level fourth alongside Manchester rival Kevin De Bruyne on £34m.

United forward Martial comes in 11th on £20m, while Shaw (£19m) and Ighalo (£18m) come in at 14th and 15th respectively.

Some surprising names make the list too, with Daniel Sturridge - currently without a club - in ninth, worth £22m.

Forever-injured duo Danny Welbeck and Jack Wilshere also crack the top 20, sitting joint-15th on £18m.

Just one Chelsea star makes the list, N'Golo Kante ranking seventh, worst £25m - £1m ahead of Tottenham  striker Harry Kane.
