Paul Pogba will demand his wages are doubled to match that of Alexis Sanchez, who is reportedly set to sign a deal worth around £400,000-a-week, reports the Mirror.
Manchester United have agreed to pay the Chile striker a staggering £100million for his services over the next four-and-a-half years, which has irked the club’s current record signing.
Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola will tell United that his client is worth more than the £200,000-a-week he’s currently earning if they’re willing to pay Sanchez double that sum.
The midfielder’s current deal was only signed in 2016, when the Red Devils paid Juventus a club-record £89million fee and the France international still has three years to run with United owning the option to extend the contract by a further 12 months.
Sanchez has been having a medical in Manchester and is expected to be unveiled as a United played in the next 24-hours, in a deal which will see Henrikh Mkhitaryan move to the Emirates Stadium as part of the deal.

The Armenia playmaker, also represented by Raiola, will receive a hefty pay off after the super agent threatened to scupper the transfer unless his client was richly rewarded for agreeing to leave Old Trafford.
As well as a pay-off Mkhitaryan will also be receiving a pay rise at Arsenal, taking his weekly wages above the £200,000-a-week mark.
