Man Utd willing to hand Pogba pay-rise - but with warning | OneFootball

Manchester United chiefs have warned Paul Pogba over new contract demands.

ESPN says United have warned Pogba that they won't break their wage structure to keep him at the club.

Pogba has long been linked with the exit at Old Trafford and that fire was stoked again when the Frenchman recently admitted that it is his 'dream' to play for Real Madrid.

Despite publicly flirting with a move away from the club, United decided to trigger a 12-month extension on his contract last Friday and could now be ready to offer him new and improved terms.

United would be open to giving him a 'reasonable' upgrade on his £290,000-a-week deal to keep him at the club for several more years.

However, the report goes on to claim that chief executive Ed Woodward is desperate to avoid another 'Alexis Sanchez-style' deal, after the club struggled to offload the Chilean and his mammoth £560,000-a-week contract before they finally agreed to handing him a £9million payoff as part of his move to Inter Milan.
