Paul Pogba could become the HIGHEST-PAID player in the Premier League 'as Manchester United prepare to offer midfielder a new five-year deal worth £400,000-a-week as he enters final 12 months of his current contract'

Manchester United are reportedly considering making Paul Pogba the highest paid player in the Premier League as they look to tie the Frenchman down.

Pogba has entered the final year of his current deal at Old Trafford, worth £290,000-a-week, and his club are keen to prevent him going into the new season with his future still uncertain.

According to The Sun, this means offering him an incredible new £400,000-a-week contract over the next five years to convince the midfielder to stay in Manchester.
