- The Spaniard and Frenchman have rejected new deals to their contract expires next summer
- Alexis Sanchez's current £475,000-a-week wage is being used as a measure to make demands
Davis De Gea and Anthony Martial's contract talks with Manchester United are being hampered with the mega wages earned by teammate, Alexis Sanchez. The club has been faced with challenges to tie down both players down because of the staggering amount the Chilean currently earns. Sanchez is presently earning £400,000-a-week including a further £75,000 for every appearance made in Red
Devil shirt.
Why Man Utd can't agree deals with David De Gea and Anthony Martial - and it's because of one of their teammateshttps://t.co/CL0AJWPTKR pic.twitter.com/aLiD330u05— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) November 4, 2018
And now, both De Gea and Martial are using the outrageous amount earned by the former Arsenal star as a yardstick for better deals. The Spain international has rejected a £300,000-a-week offered by United given he is now the best shot-stopper in the world. The former Atletico Madrid number is currently on £175,000-a-week at Old Trafford and was expected to sign a new deal after the World Cup.

However, an agreement is yet to be reached and Jose Mourinho is bothered with the situation as Juventus are now on standby. United have the option of triggering a clause in the 27-year-old's current contract that would force him to stay until the summer of 2020.
Which means they would also lose him for nothing if he decided to see out his contract at Old Trafford. On the other hand, securing a new deal for Martial has been deadlocked as the Frenchman has rejected United's new offer.

The 22-year-old's deal will expire next summer but includes a clause that could see United keep him for a further 12 months. United are ready to double his current £70,000-a-week wages, but have been unable to secure a deal on those terms. Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus have been linked with the former Monaco striker but United are desperate to keep him despite his personality clash with Mourinho.
Meanwhile, NORTHERNFILES TV had earlier reported that Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan has been lined up as a shock replacement for David De Gea at Manchester United. United's chiefs are making underground plans to sign another goalie as the Spaniard has refused to sign a new deal with the Red Devils.
