Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola says his time at Manchester United is ‘OVER’

Mino Raiola has sensationally declared Paul Pogba‘s Manchester United career over. 

The timing of the agent’s bombshell could not be worse for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side on the eve of a do-or-die Champions League clash with RB Leipzig.

Raiola told Tuttosport: ‘I can say that it’s over for Paul Pogba at Manchester United.’

Pogba’s future has been the subject of much speculation for months but he remained at Old Trafford in the extended summer transfer window. 

He also looked back to somewhere near the level he is capable of producing in the comeback win against West Ham on Saturday, contributing with a superb goal. 

But now Raiola has thrown an enormous spanner in the works for the club and also, potentially his player.

His short statement could have massive ramifications and whip up a frenzy of distraction at precisely the point Solskjaer needs absolute focus on the task at hand. 

United require at least a draw against RB Leipzig in Germany on Tuesday night to guarantee a place in the knockout stages. 

And the fallout from Raiola’s statement is likely to rumble on ahead of their crunch derby clash with Manchester City on Saturday.

Pogba is still United’s record signing at £89million but has never been shy about teasing a move away from the club he left as an academy star for Juventus before returning to much fanfare. 

Back in October he described a possible move to Real Madrid as ‘a dream’, comments that were dismissed by Solskjaer, who asserted that his midfielder would be with United for another two years.
