MANCHESTER UNITED star Paul Pogba is set to sign a new contract – pushing him up the top Old Trafford earners list.
The France star, 27, has been in resurgent form since Premier League football returned last month.
And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – once seemingly willing to sell him to Real Madrid or Juventus – is now scrambling to keep the World Cup winner.
Pogba, too, has had a change of heart after announcing he wanted a change last summer, during a marketing tour of Asia.
The midfielder has played in all seven of Man Utd’s games since football’s return – scoring in the 3-0 win over Aston Villa.
Former Juve star Pogba currently earns a whopping £290,000 a week.
But that tally is just over HALF of top-earning flop Alexis Sanchez.

The Chilean – currently on loan at Inter Milan – was a free signing from Arsenal, involved in a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Thanks to that, United were willing to splash the cash on his wages, hoping he could replicate his best form.
Sanchez was handed a bumper £505,000 a week contract – with Inter now subsidising a small portion of that.
David De Gea sits second, pocketing a weekly pay-cheque of £375,000.
Pogba sits third, but will likely be shunted up towards the £350,000-£400,000 mark on signing fresh terms.
Anthony Martial (£250,000) and Marcus Rashford (£200,000) are the only other players to earn above the £200k a week mark.

Of them, on-fire January buy Bruno Fernandes is the LOWEST-paid at £100,000.
Harry Maguire, Juan Mata, Luke Shaw, Odion Ighalo, Fred, Victor Lindelof and Nemanja Matic are the other big-earners.
