PAUL POGBA’S agent Mino Raiola has reportedly said it’s ‘all over’ for the Frenchman at Manchester United.
The midfielder has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford for some time and super-agent Raiola has all but confirmed his future lies elsewhere.
Raiola is quoted as telling Italian outlet TuttoSport: “I can say that it’s over for Paul Pogba at Manchester United.”
The bombshell comes just a day before United’s Champions League showdown away at RB Leipzig where they need at least a draw to qualify for the knockout stage.
It was only August that Raiola confirmed the two parties were about to start talks over a new contract.
Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, he said: “Paul Pogba will stay at Manchester United.
“Pogba is key player for Man Utd, they have an important project and he’s 100 per cent included.
“Man Utd will not accept any bid this summer to sell Pogba. We’re going to speak about a new contract soon, no stress.”
Both Real Madrid and Juventus have been linked with moves for the midfield ace.
And in October, Pogba, 27, revealed he dreamed of playing for Real one day but said he was happy at United for the time being.
Speaking on international duty, the midfielder said: “I am at Manchester. We know that this has been spoken about a lot and I have not [spoken about it].
“I heard a lot of noise that I was going to leave and I was going to leave to clubs left and right.
“Today, I am still at Manchester United and I am fighting to try to take the club even higher.
“We have all heard these things that have been said. What to respond?
“Yes, all footballers would like to play for Real Madrid. Maybe it is a dream. It is a dream for me, why not one day?
“As I have said, I am at Manchester United and I like my club.
“I am performing at Manchester United, I am enjoying myself and I want to do everything I can to get the club back to where it deserves to be.
“I am going to give my maximum, like my teammates. I prefer to concentrate on football and on returning to fitness.”
Pogba scored a screamer during United’s 3-1 comeback win at West Ham on Saturday.
But replays did show the ball went out of play in the build up and VAR should have ruled it out.
The France international also revealed details of his coronavirus hell saying he felt ‘strange and exhausted‘.
