Pogba looks to be on his way out of Old Trafford

Raiola dropped the bombshell on the eve of United’s crunch Champions League clash with RB Leizpig on Tuesday night.

He is reported as saying to Tuttosport: “I can say it’s over for Paul Pogba at Manchester United.”

Pogba’s future at United has been the subject of much speculation over the past few years.

The Frenchman is tied to United until 2022, after an option to extend his contract by one year was triggered by the club last month.

Raiola insists Pogba is on his way out of Man United

However, Pogba has never seemed fully committed to United and has publicly courted interest from Real Madrid.

Back in July 2019, Raiola urged the club to let him go and said that Pogba had been nothing but respectful in his attempts to leave the club.

Earlier this year, the agent was especially critical of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for comments he made about the player ‘being owned’ by Man United.

In an explosive interview with talkSPORT, Raiola said: “Ole said he is owned by Manchester United and I have a principal problem with that; he is an employee, he is not owned by Manchester United. And being employee doesn’t mean I cannot have an opinion or say something I want to say.

Paul Pogba has not played regularly for United this season

“I have never spoken about Ole in the papers or the press, he always speaks about me. Whether it is about [Erling] Haaland, or Pogba’s injury, or Pogba’s surgery, he is always talking about me – I’m not talking about him.”

Now it seems as though Pogba will push for a transfer again in January following Raiola’s latest comments.

Pogba, who scored in the win over West Ham on Saturday, has made 13 appearances for United this season but hasn’t always been assured of a first team spot.

He admitted earlier this season he was struggling at United, declaring it was a ‘breath of fresh air’ to go away and play for France.
