What Manchester United earned from Europa League final win over Ajax - including £22m bonus from adidas

Champions League TV rights, prize money and kit sponsors all add up to a whopping big pay cheque for United

Manchester United celebrate with Europa League trophy

Manchester United are set to pocket a cool £77.5m windfall from winning the Europa League.

United bosses will be toasting their players' 2-0 success in Stockholm - after Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan netted in a comfortable victory to qualify for the Champions League.

United will earn £50m from the Champions League in TV rights and prize money, along with the £5.5m windfall for lifting the Europa League trophy, according to the Times .

As part of their kit sponsorship with Adidas they will also be handed a £22m bonus.

However, United will be forced to pay out £28m to players as part of bonuses written into their contracts.

The squad will split a bonus of £1million between them, but that would be far from their only reward.

Success in Europe's second tier competition guarantees a spot in the 2017/18 Champions League, meaning the majority of the squad would also see their basic pay rise.

United's players earning more than £20,000-a-week suffered a 25 per cent pay cut when they failed to qualify for this season's Champions League, but that 25 per cent will be reinstated.
