“The Pogba-United relationship is over”. This is how blunt Mino Raiola was in an interview with Tuttosport and the reactions to such a statement have not been long in coming. First, the Mancunian fans were clear about it and asked that the midfielder not wear the team's shirt again, now he is an English football legend, Jamie Carragher, who cries out against both the French and the Italian agent, calling it “a disgrace” At the couple.
“Get rid of him! I've been saying it for 12 months. He's the most overrated player I've ever seen!”, noted in Sky Sports, from where he is one of the chain's regular football analysts. “I think both of them are a disgrace. We all look at the agent now and ask him what Pogba thinks. The agents these days are not just that, they are a father, a best friend, a financial advisor, they reserve their vacations, they go hand in hand, “began the former Liverpool defender, United's staunch rival.
Carra continued and said, while crossing his fingers that “these two are like this”, before continuing with his attack: “He will be Pogba's best friend. So Pogba is aware of what is going to come out of his mouth. If he is not, he should fire his agent “. In this way, he defends that Raiola's words are not alien to the feeling and thinking of the Red Devil, so he understands that there is only one solution: “It's very, very simple. That's all that has to happen (transfer him). I don't know where he's going to go … who's going to love him? I don't get it.”
It is not indispensable
In addition, Carragher analyzed the current situation of the player in regards to his importance in the team and considers that he is not indispensable in the United scheme: “Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been using Scott McTominay and Fred ahead of him. And he had to put him because he was giving rest to the rest. He has not played in a month, but he was not out. He has had an injury, but before that was on the bench. He played because there were players resting for the game against Leipzig. Would you start him now, in Leipzig, after all this? “
Comparison with Cristiano Ronaldo
Also, compared him to the last great player to come out of United After a negotiation turned into a soap opera, Cristiano Ronaldo, and it is more than clear that the world champion in 2018 does not eat at the same table as the Portuguese star: “I remember a few years ago, everyone knew that Cristiano Ronaldo was going to go to Real Madrid, but United had to fight because it was worth the trouble. Pogba is not worth it. Get rid of him. “
Finally, he pointed out that I would not understand that the greats of our football threw themselves at his hiring, although he believes that the Zidane factor could play in favor of the operation: “There are only two teams better than United and these are Real Madrid and Barcelona. And when I say better I mean that you can understand that the players leave, since They are at the top of club football. You have to accept that. There is no possibility that Madrid or Barça will sign him. I would be surprised if they asked about him. Maybe the French issue with Zidane … but it would get nowhere for him, “he settled.
