Louis van Gaal's team has been decimated by a succession of injury blows and will be well below strength for the teatime clash at the Emirates. But whether they're in training or on the treatment table, United are still shelling out a fortune in wages. VIDEOS Scroll down to watch .

Falcao, who is on loan from Monaco, earns £280,000-a-week at Old Trafford and a mickey-taking website has sprung up that calculates how much he has earned since joining on Deadline Day.
