Everyone else is telling you to leave or try a power play, but food for thought -- you may actually be less valuable now in your new role because you aren't experienced in it. If you just moved from IC to manager, you might be a pretty new manager.

It's normal for managers to have reports that make more than them. Just because you manage them doesn't make you more valuable.

I'm not saying this is the case for you in particular, but it might be, so something to consider before playing hardball.

That’s very insightful and the argument I would expect if I were to start discussions about salary. How would you counter this?

I would also say I’m more qualified for the job than those that are applying now, so I’m not sure if this really is applicable to me.

maybe it's no the right time to negotiate your salary ? given there is competition for your job position and your competency is not proven. why not wait till next year ?
