MANCHESTER UNITED'S stars will share a bumper £9million bonus if they do the Double.
United face Barcelona in the Champions League final and are favourites to win the Premier League with just three games to go.
The lucrative bonus system in the players' contracts means they will hit the jackpot by winning the big two.
For each Prem game, every member of the 18-man squad picks up £1,500 per point won - so that is £4,500 each for a victory.
United have 73 points and will be on 82 if they win their final three games, meaning the total payout will be around £2.2m.
The club will then add between £1m and £1.3m for winning the title, to be shared between the squad based on games played.
In the Champions League, Wayne Rooney and Co are awarded £15,000 for their part in a group stage win and £20,000 in the knockout rounds.
That will total around £2.5m if they beat Barca at Wembley on May 28.
The club will throw in a further pot of £3m for lifting the trophy, again shared based on the number of matches played.
United have reached their third Euro final in four seasons.
They hammered Schalke 4-1 at Old Trafford on Wednesday to win 6-1 on aggregate - a Champions League semi-final record.
Alex Ferguson's side are three points clear of second-placed Chelsea in the league ahead of Sunday's title crunch between the pair at Old Trafford.
