Jesse Lingard has agreed a new four-year contract with Manchester United worth up to £95,000-a-week, according to reports.

The England international has impressed Jose Mourinho and has become a regular in the side under the Special One. According to the Sun it’s been enough to earn him a new deal at Old Trafford that will triple his current wages of £30,000-a-week.

The impressive figures are brought into context by the reported wages being paid to Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud.

The France international was one of three Arsenal players to sign new contracts today, with the Daily Mail reporting he will be paid £90,000-a-week under the new terms. It comes amid the French striker enjoying a productive, albeit reduced role this season in which he has scored vital goals for the club.
