Anthony Martial Reportedly Wants More Than £150,000-a-Week to Sign New Contract

Manchester United forward Anthony Martial is reportedly requesting a weekly wage in excess of £150,000 before signing a new contract at Old Trafford.

According to James Robson of the Evening Standard, there is confidence at United that Martial will sign a new deal with the club despite the fact he rejected their most recent offer.

But the Frenchman is said to be asking for an increased salary following the club's decision to hand Luke Shaw a new deal worth £150,000-a-week.

"Martial has indicated he wants to extend his stay at the club—but United's hierarchy are aware they have set a precedent by making Shaw one of the highest-paid defenders in the world," said Robson.
