According to reports last year, the Portuguese star makes about N16.6 billion annually from endorsements on Instagram.
Makes a fortune from posts on the platform
It means he makes about N664 million per post based on his activities last year.
He is one of the only sports personalities who make that much from the top usually left for US celebrities in entertainment.
In August last year, the five-time winner of the Ballon d'Or went back to Old Trafford, more than a decade after he left for Real Madrid.
He featured on Sunday’s 4-2 thrashing of Leeds United and was substituted by Raphael Varane late into the second half of the game.
He is rumoured to be gunning for the captaincy of the club and has held talks with interim manager, Ralf Rangnick.
Rangnick dismissed the rumour and said Maguire remains captain.
