Less than 12 months ago, the Manchester United dressing room was in disarray over the idea of handing Paul Pogba a contract so lucrative it would make him the Premier League's highest-paid player.
While the Frenchman was thought to be a popular figure around Old Trafford, there were question marks over just how deserving Pogba was of a deal that would have seen him pocket a basic salary of £400,000-a-week, with add-ons potentially taking it up to the half-a-million mark.
Mirror Football exclusively reported last year how other members of the United squad felt Pogba's persistent injury issues and tendency to discuss leaving the club meant he should not have been in line for such a significant pay rise.
