REVEALED - The price of trying to bring glory days back to Manchester United: £367,640 a week for Zlatan Ibrahimovic... and a £3.5million loyalty bonus for Paul Pogba

Zlatan Ibrahimovic became the highest-paid player in the Premier League on £367,640 a week when he moved to Manchester United last summer.

Astonishing details of the contracts agreed between United and agent Mino Raiola for Ibrahimovic are revealed in a book to be published in Germany this week — to which Sportsmail has been given exclusive access.

It has also emerged that Raiola will be paid over £41million after bringing Pogba to United from Juventus for a world record £89m transfer fee.
