Manchester United have already proven how much they want to get back to the top. Their transferactivity during the summer explainsthose aspirations by itself: they went after Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane, and brought back Cristiano Ronaldo.
None of those signings would have been made if it wasn’t for their high ambitions. It’s been a long time since they last tasted Premier League glory and they have also struggled to succeed in Europe.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, additionally, has to think about the long term and that implies taking a look at the contract situation of each player. With some big names heading to their final years under contract, United have to consider how far they’re willing to go to renew them.
Man United reportedly willing to propose record salary to a player running out of contract
With a powerful squad and few adjustments to make besides landing a holding midfield, Manchester United’s focus from now on seems to be on those players who might leave the club – and those whose deals are expiring soon.
Paul Pogba has entered the final year of his contract at Old Trafford and, of course, he has already been linked to multiple interested teams. But, according to Express,the Red Devils would not only be willing to offer him a new dealbut also to make him the highest-paid Premier League player of all time.
The report claims he would make nearly £400,000 a week (around $545,000). Pogba plays a key role in Solskjaer’s plans and the club seems to appreciate his talent. Hemay have struggled to shine in Manchester at first but it was only a matter of time until he won recognition. Besides, United wouldn’t like to see their record signingleave yet.
