2. Can United Really Afford £220,000-a-week?
Van Persie apparently made a statement demanding £220,000-a-week wherever he decides to play his football. If debt ridden Manchester United agree these demands this will match Wayne Rooneys deal which will mean the club will be playing near on a half a million on just two players every week. Manchester United are a club who cant afford to pay ridiculous sums of money, with the current financial situation of the club it is only a matter of time before United find themselves in serious trouble unless United decide to sell.
