Wayne Rooney can break the £300,000-a-week barrier at Manchester United thanks to his new deal.
It seems that the 'third tier' option in his deal could be even more revolutionary in terms of setting a precedent for future contracts.
Paul Stretford told Sports Pro Media: "Tier three is basically an agreement between Manchester United FC's sponsorship arm and Wayne Rooney's own corporate vehicle - Stoneygate - where a joint venture has been formed between the two parties to allow Manchester United to sell all of Wayne's individual sponsorship rights as well.
"For such agreement, they have made a forward guarantee of payments. The exciting part of that is that they are recognised as one of the best sponsorship sales teams in the world."
