But the arrival of Alexis Sanchez at Old Trafford was reported to have irritated Frenchman Paul Pogba considering the fact that the Chilean overtook him as the highest player at Old Trafford.
Pogba was livid that Manchester United should be built around him in which the arrival of Alexis Sanchez frustrated him to make a demand that his money must be increased for him to be above the Chilean.
The Frenchman who is currently on £290,000 weekly at Old Trafford wanted the club to double his money as he believes that he should be the highest paid player at the club and not Alexis Sanchez.
There were also reports that Sanchez’s arrival at Old Trafford piqued Pogba’s ego because the attacker is now the highest paid player at the club and the fact he now has to do more defensive work to cover his new team-mate.
Pogba was also reported to have told his agent Mino Raiola to have discussion with Manchester United chiefs over the possibility of increasing his weekly salary at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Alexis Sanchez is currently struggling for form at Manchester United, while Paul Pogba could be on his way out of Manchester United when the January 2019 transfer window opens.
