According to super-agent Mino Raiola, Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba will not leave Old Trafford in the January transfer window but the Frenchman must play for a club that can challenge for major trophies in the longer term.
There have been reports which claim that Pogba is desperate to leave Manchester United with interest from several other top European suitors but the 26-year-old appears almost certain to see out the remainder of the season with the Red Devils as manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no desire to sell his ace midfielder.
Pogba has managed to play only seven times in the Premier League in the 2019-20 campaign due to a recurring ankle injury and European heavyweights Real Madrid and Juventus are unwilling to force the issue for a transfer which now appears unlikely.
However, Pogba’s agent Raiola has previously stated that his client wants to stay at United, but he has made it clear the club must show they can match the highly set standards from the past. The World Cup winner is desperate to win more titles in his career and Raiola has added that the Premier League giants must compete at the highest level.
While speaking to reporters, Raiola has explained that Pogba has always respected the club and vice versa but his ambition is something that isn’t being matched, “Paul has always respected Manchester United, as long as Manchester United has respected Paul, The only one that talks for Manchester United and Paul is Ole. I go by what he says; he will not move. That’s okay and we are good with them. Paul is struggling a little bit with his injury and that’s our main interest now. There’s one objective that Paul has and that is to perform as well as possible with Manchester United. He’s a top pro and I think that his heart is in the right place with Manchester United.”
