Young forward Jesse Lingard is set to open talks on a new contract at Manchester United that would see his wage packet shoot up to £50,000-per-week, the Daily Mirror reports.
Lingard and his representatives have already held talks with the club over a new deal after he broke into the first team on a regular basis, as well as breaking into Roy Hodgson’s England squad.
The 22-year-old is reportedly earning £25,000-a-week on an incentive-laden contract which rewards the attacking midfielder for first team appearances.
However, talks will begin after Christmas over a new deal that would see him double his money as a reward for such good form.
