Mino Raiola displeased with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over the recent performances of Manchester United star Paul Pogba
According to Sport BILD (h/t Daily Star), Mino Raiola is unhappy with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over the recent performances of Manchester United star Paul Pogba.
The Red Devils played a heavily entertaining game against Atalanta on Tuesday night as Cristiano Ronaldo delivered twice to draw the game against the Italian opposition. However, while the 36-year-old took all the plaudits, one player who suffered in comparison was Pogba.
The Frenchman had an excellent start to the season, as he laid seven assists in the first four Premier League games. However, he has not been able to produce a significant performance since then, with little to no output in the club’s UCL campaign this season.
He was hooked by Solskjaer little after an hour’s play against Atalanta as the ever-active Nemanja Matic replaced him. The 28-year-old is in the final year of his contract, and one must seriously wonder whether any of those issues are playing a role on his mind and subsequently affecting his displays on the pitch.
His poor outings are, however, affecting his agent, Mino Raiola. The super-agent is apparently displeased with Solskjaer over the recent performances of his client.
In fact, it is also thought that his unhappiness could lead to United failing to land Erling Haaland next summer – another client of the Italian. The Norwegian is on the club’s radar, and the former Molde manager is desperate to sign his former pupil at Old Trafford next summer.

However, those plans could be derailed if Raiola chooses not to negotiate with the Red Devils while the club are also thought to be ‘wary’ of doing business with the agent again.
Regardless, unless Pogba starts to perform at a high level again, the relationship between the two parties could be strained and could ruin any future business between them.
