Real Madrid winger Angel di Maria is shocked by Manchester United's contract offer.
The Daily Mail says it is understood United have told the Argentine that, with performance-based incentives, they will pay him around £200,000 a week.
A salary that size would put the 26-year-old in the same ballpark as attacking stars Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie.
Di Maria is aware of United's capacity to pay big wages and has told his family of his surprise that the English club's offer outstrips anything made by other suitors, including mega-rich Paris Saint-Germain of France.
