Arsenal legend Wright slams Man Utd and Ibrahimovic over bonus scheme

Published on: 12 May 2017

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has slammed Manchester United over their bonus scheme for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

It's been revealed that Ibrahimovic has earned over three millions pounds in goal bonuses, on top of his £367,640 a week basic wage, equating to £143,000 every time he scored, in addition to a £19 million a year salary.

Wright said, “When you're talking about £367,000 a week and you're buying someone like Zlatan for nothing else but scoring goals, and you're paying him that, why are you giving him a goal bonus as well?

“The only reason you'd put a goal bonus in there in the 70s and 80s is because you're trying to get more money. These guys don't need more money."

Wright claimed that he never had a goal bonus during his playing days, which is unlucky considering he found the back of the net over 200 times in his career.

“As a striker, my job was to score goals. Wanting a bonus for scoring the goals made no sense."
