Manchester United defender Tyler Blackett has received a humongous pay-rise by putting pen to paper on a new contract at Old Trafford.
The 20-year-old, who has only played 10 senior matches for the Red Devils, was on £2,000 per week, but his new terms will see him take home £20,000 every seven days, according to the Daily Mail.
Blackett’s new contract runs until June 2017, but United have the option to extend it by a further 12 months.
