Paul Pogba’s super agent disagrees with Man United boss, says “Paul is unhappy at” Old Trafford, wants to leave in summer

Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola says Manchester United midfielder is unhappy and will be looking to leave the club in the summer before the end of his contract.

Raiola told Tuttosport, via SkySports: “There’s no point beating about the bush. It’s better to speak out clearly, look forward and avoid wasting time to find culprits.

“Paul is unhappy at Man Utd, he can’t manage to express himself like he wants to and like people expect him to. He needs to change team, he needs a change of scenery.

“He has a contract that will expire in a year and a half, in the summer of 2022, but the best solution for all parties is a transfer in the next window [in the summer of 2021].

“Otherwise the Old Trafford club, which I have a great relationship with, knows well that they would risk losing him on a free transfer, given that at the moment it’s not the player’s intention to extend the contract. If anybody can’t understand this, then they know little or nothing about football. Anyway, they’re free to direct all the blame to myself if Paul were to leave next summer.”

But when quizzed on Paul Pogba’s future at Old Trafford in October, Man Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was adamant the France midfielder was going nowhere.

“Paul’s our player, he’s going to be here for another two years and I’m sure Paul is focused on doing his best for us and we want to see the best of Paul,” said Solskjaer.

“So, in the next couple of years I’m sure we’ll get the best out of him.”

Pogba, 27, has scored twice and assisted two further goals in 13 matches in all competitions so far this season.
