"The reason United are having to pay this is because two years ago, when Pogba was getting down to his last two years, they should have tied him down with a three or four-year contract," ex-Man United midfielder Paul Ince told The United Stand.
"And it wouldn’t have been £400k-a-week, it would have been £250k-a-week. I can’t believe I’m talking about these figures in wages!
"Now, because they’ve let his contract run down to his last four or five months, he can start talking to clubs in January. And they’re having to offer him £400k-a-week to persuade him to stay.
"I don’t think he’d sign a contract if they offered him £500k-a-week or £600k-a-week. If he leaves at the end of season, he’s still going to get that type of money and maybe more as he will be a free agent.
"United are panicking now because they are thinking they could lose this player for nothing and it’s their own bloody fault!
"The people behind Ole haven’t done their jobs right and made him sign a contract two years ago.
"We’ve not seen enough of Pogba in the last two years to warrant that.
"We’ve seen Paul Pogba play for France and he looks like he’s happier when he plays for France."
Pogba's current deal expires next June, and he's taking his time before making a decision over his future.
Man United have already put a contract proposal on the table for the Frenchman, but he might be interested to learn what PSG and Real Madrid can offer.
