However, they will have to splash the cash to keep hold of the 26-year-old as Pogba wants a new deal worth 500,000-a-week – giving him pay parity with United’s highest-earner Alexis Sanchez.Pogba’s existing deal has two years to run, with United holding the option to trigger a further 12 month extension.Sanchez’s hefty salary is not only affecting United’s attempts to tie Pogba down to a new contract, with David de Gea, the goalkeeper, similarly keen on being paid around 500,000-a-week.The glovesman is a target of Paris Saint-Germain’s, with his existing deal expiring at the end of next season.
