Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has admitted that the midfielder is unlikely to leave Manchester United in the January transfer window.
Raiola caused a major stir last week ahead of United’s crunch Champions League showdown with RB Leipzig when he claimed the France international was unhappy at Old Trafford and ‘needs to change team’.
“I can say that it’s over for Paul Pogba at Manchester United,” he told Tuttosport.
“Paul is unhappy with Man Utd as he is no longer able to express himself in the way that he would like and as he is expected to. Paul needs a new team, a change of air.”
However, Pogba later took to Instagram and posted a message suggesting he had no intention of going anywhere soon.
Raiola has now acknowledged that his initial comments were perhaps over the top, but still believes a summer transfer for the 27-year-old World Cup winner is on the cards.
“When it comes to him in England they are sensitive, perhaps too sensitive,” Raiola told the same publication at the Golden Boy Awards.
“In January, the big players hardly move, then in the summer let’s see what happens.”
Pogba’s future has been an almost constant source of speculation for the last couple of seasons, with several reports linking him with a return to Italian giants Juventus.
