Manchester United Football Club’s record signing stands at £89million, when Paul Pogba’s move back ‘home’ was confirmed.
I think it’s fair to say that the midfielder hasn’t been anywhere near his brilliant best over the last two years, despite always playing outstandingly for his country in that time.
Over the summer, Pogba’s long-term future at the club had been thrown into doubt. Now, we may well know why…
According to the Manchester Evening News, per the Daily Star, his agent, Mino Raiola, apparently told him ‘three years (at United), then Spain’ at the time of the big-money transfer going through.
Honestly, this wouldn’t surprise me. Raiola is in this game to make his own pockets deeper – nothing more than that. He doesn’t care about loyalty, integrity or upsetting people. He just wants to keep those fat cheques coming in; which I can’t really blame him for as that’s certainly part of his job.
I guess that even before the sub-par performances from Pogba, he has always had the thought of moving on his mind if the aforementioned comment from Raiola is true. Heck, it may even be the main reason why he isn’t playing as well, perhaps the Frenchman’s heart just isn’t in it…
