Manchester United seem to be ready to go all out in this transfer window if the latest reports are anything to go by. The club looks to be taking a step in the right direction by investing in young talent and in furtherance of that agenda, they have now offered Adrien Rabiot a £170,000 a week contract to join them in the summer.

Rabiot, who finds himself in the doghouse at Paris Saint-Germain, will leave the Ligue 1 club in the summer on a free transfer and is currently weighing up the offers on his table. In addition to Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus are reportedly interested in signing the Frenchman.

However, Manchester United's staggering wage offers have now tipped the scales in their favour. The report claims that Rabiot has been offered a staggering annual wage of €10 million.
