Super-agent Mino Raiola has almost officially declared that Paul Pogba\u2019s time at Manchester United has come, just 24 hours prior to the Red Devils\u2019 do-or-die Champions League clash with RB Leipzig \u2013 proving club legends Roy Keane and Gary Neville right.<\/p>\n
Only a day before the Red Devils face a must-not-lose clash with RB Leipzig in the Champions League, Pogba and his controversial agent again dominated the headlines with the latter, Mino Raiola, telling Tuttosport: \u201cI can say that it\u2019s over for Paul Pogba at Manchester United.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPaul is unhappy. He is no longer able to express himself as he would like and as expected of him. He has to change teams; he has to change the air.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has a contract that will expire in a year and a half, but I think the best solution for the parties is to sell him in the next market.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is of course not the first time Raiola has turned his guns on the Red Devils, inciting club legends Gary Neville and Roy Keane to get involved, with Neville accusing Raiola of trying to \u201cembarrass\u201d the club whilst predicting it would inevitably end with his departure as he warned the club they needed to make a stand.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will end with Paul Pogba, I think, leaving Manchester United,\u201d Neville told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat needs to happen is that the club needs to make a stance on that agent. That agent has messed them around now for years and years with Pogba and with other players.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy they allow him and why they allow themselves to be played off him I\u2019ll never know.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a serious thorn in the side for them and Manchester United should just stand strong and say, \u2018look, we don\u2019t do business with this guy. If you\u2019re represented by him, we won\u2019t deal with you\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s publicly trying to embarrass the club all the time. At the end of the day, he\u2019s obviously defending his player and sticking up for Paul Pogba.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I don\u2019t think what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said was an aggressive move against Paul Pogba.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was saying he\u2019s Manchester United\u2019s player, they\u2019ve paid \u00a390million for him and they want him to stay at the club and play well. He wasn\u2019t claiming ownership of him by any stretch of the imagination.<\/p>\n
\u201cRaiola wants to create a situation. He wants Pogba out the club, he wants his next pay day off him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s made tens and tens of million pounds off that player and he\u2019ll continue to do so for the rest of his playing days. He\u2019s a golden egg for Mino Raiola.\u201d<\/p>\n
Keane took things a step further with his stern warning, telling his former club they are left with hardly any choice but to get rid of the French World Cup winner.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s been lots of noises coming out of Pogba\u2019s camp for a number of months,\u201d Keane said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe simple thing I would do is move him on in the summer. He is a good player but there is too much baggage with him and his agent so just move him on.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes you have to lose to win. It might backfire on you, but if it\u2019s not right for the club and these agents are laughing at you, then let these lads go. Look at the bigger picture.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be chasing after these players who don\u2019t really want to be at the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think Pogba wants to be there. So just shake his hand and off you go.\u201d<\/p>\n
United had earlier ignored Keane\u2019s advice and also failed to address Neville\u2019s warning Raiola would not refrain from trying to embarrass the club.<\/p>\n
Now, as a result, United have again been undermined ahead of a huge game the consequences of which would trigger different permutations for their future, while also leaving Pogba\u2019s future looking increasingly hazy ahead of the January transfer window.<\/p>\n
