In possibly the most important news of the day, Mino Raiola went further explaining the reasons Paul Pogba has to leave Manchester United.

Mino Riola made the Internet explode with his most recent statement about Paul Pogba’s future at Manchester United. The Italian agent has been by Paul’s side for his entire career as he’s been with most of his clients. Every single footballer who works with Mino loves the guy without question.

Whatever he tells them to do. Wherever he tells them to go. All of Raiola’s clients tend to follow his advice and instructions. That’s the main reason his recent statement about Paul Pogba on Tuttosport was so controversial. It’s a given that the French midfielder might leave Manchester United after the current season.

He may even leave during the winter transfer window as a free agent. Even though his contract doesn’t end until the summer of 2021, Paul can effectively negotiate with any club of his choosing in January. 

Raiola wants Pogba to be happy. 

After the first bombshell where he said Pogba was leaving, Riola got into more detail: “There’s no use ignoring it,” he told Tuttosport. “It’s better to speak honestly, look to the future and not waste time trying to blame people: Paul is unhappy at Manchester United, he can no longer express himself as he wants to or in the way that’s expected of him.

“He needs to change team, he needs a change of scene. He has a contract that expires in a year and a half’s time, in the summer of 2022, but I think the best solution would be for him to leave in the next transfer window. Otherwise the club from Old Trafford, with whom he has a good relationship, know very well that they risk losing him on a free transfer, considering that right now he does not want to extend his deal.

“If people don’t get that, they know very little about football. In any case, they’ll all blame me if Paul leaves next summer.”
