Manchester United board have offered Paul Pogba a mouth-watering £500,000–a-week, to persuade the Frenchman to remain at the club.
The new deal is far more than what the club’s current highest earner, Cristiano Ronaldo gets in a week.
Moving from Juventus to Manchester United last summer, Cristiano Ronaldo became United’s highest weekly earner with about £400,000 weekly pay.
Manchester United is not giving up hope of making Pogba remain at the club and so they want to make him the highest earning player at Old Trafford.
Pogba is in the final six months of his current contract with Manchester United after rejecting talks over an extension.
The World Cup winner is now free to discuss a pre-contract agreement with other clubs ahead of a free transfer.
