Woodward plans Pogba meeting to thrash out new Man Utd contract

Manchester United vice-chairman Ed Woodward is planning to offer Paul Pogba a new contract.

The Daily Star says Woodward is planning to sit down with the midfielder and offer him a three-year-deal worth in the excess of £225,000-per-week.

The French international has entered the final 12 months of his current £150,000-a-week deal and United have the option of extending it another season.

But Woodward wants to tie Pogba down to a longer, three-year-deal that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2024.

Woodward is poised to start negotiations with the World Cup winner and it is understood United are willing to make Pogba one of the club's highest-paid stars on a deal worth in excess of £225,000-a-week.
