Manchester United and Mino Raiola yet to reach a consensus over Paul Pogba
According to the Daily Star, Manchester United and Mino Raiola are yet to discuss the future of star midfielder Paul Pogba.
The 27-year-old’s contract at United runs out in 2022. The upcoming summer represents the best opportunity for United to demand top dollar for the player.
United have not yet been informed of the Franceman’s intentions. This includes the clubs who are keen on him and also what it could take for us to extend his stay at Old Trafford.
European giants Real Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are all keen on the midfielder. They are currently tracking his whereabouts as the situation develops.
Pogba is currently out injured after sustaining a thigh issue in the club’s 3-3 win over Everton last month. He is back in light training as he steps up his efforts to return to action.
One of football’s top agents, Raiola often gets his clients the best deal possible. However, this often comes at the cost of the clubs involved and he has the habit of rubbing them off the wrong way.
Raiola also played a role in Pogba’s initial exit from United in 2012. Sir Alex Ferguson was unhappy with the superagent after he facilitated the switch to the Italian champions. (h/t Mirror)
The midfielder returned to Untied to much fanfare in 2016. The club’s record signing, he has failed to live up to the promise he showed in his first season back.
Pogba has admittedly looked good since the turn of the year. Unfortunately, the injury has derailed what could have been a road to redemption.
