HMRC are investigating "at least two" Manchester United players over alleged image rights tax dodges, the Daily Mail have reported.
They are reportedly among a group of up to 200 Premier League players under scrutiny for the use of private companies to save money on tax bills.
An agreement established in the 2014-15 season allowed clubs to pay a fifth of their players' wages through 'image rights' companies.

This means that the player avoids income tax on the money and clubs reduce their National Insurance contributions.
The United players said to be under investigation are not expected to have knowingly avoided paying taxes.
