For the latest from the pitch sign up for our football newsletterManchester United are prepared to make Frenkie de Jong their highest paid star in order to lure him from Barcelona. So, instead, United hope to tempt De Jong, 25, into swapping the Nou Camp for Old Trafford - with a whopping weekly salary of £395,000. That would mean the Dutchman immediately becoming their top earner - in terms of basic wage - eclipsing Spanish stopper David de Gea. The Reds No 1 pockets £375,000 per week, ahead of Jadon Sancho (£350,000), Raphael Varane (£340,000) and Cristiano Ronaldo (£300,000). Meanwhile, United are willing to listen to offers for Anthony Martial, Eric Bailly Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Dean Henderson and Phil Jones.
