Paul Pogba has been linked with a Manchester United exit.
However, agent Mino Raiola has suggested the midfielder is content at Old Trafford.
Paul Pogba intends to remain at Manchester United and win trophies but the club must form a clear identity, according to the midfielder’s agent Mino Raiola. France international Pogba is into the final 18 months of his contract and has been strongly linked with a move away from Old Trafford ahead of the January transfer window. The 26-year-old attracted interest from Real Madrid earlier this year, but Raiola insists his client – who returned to United from Juventus in 2016 – will not force through an exit.
“I think that Paul really went home,” Raiola told The Telegraph. “Paul could have gone elsewhere [in 2016], but he really chose with his heart, to go home. Paul wants to be successful and happy and wants to win prizes and he would love to do that with Manchester United. There was big interest from Real Madrid and Manchester didn’t let him go.
“We didn’t make a fuss about it and he didn’t make a fuss about it because I work in accordance with the player. You know other players can bring things to extreme but Paul doesn’t like that. So you work differently.”
While being content at Old Trafford, Raiola feels United can do more to support Pogba by appointing a sporting director to oversee transfer matters: “The club needs a specialist, a sports director, someone between the team, the coach and the owners, someone who can bridge the sides. Today you need that specialist because the coach has no time to manage scouts and other tasks and I feel that is lacking at Manchester United.”
