Manchester United Executive Vice President Ed Woodward has spoken to Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola again in an attempt to ease recent tensions and resolve the future of the French midfielder.. According to 'The Mirror', Woodward has reopened the talks as a kind of peace offer and a way to prevent the agent from making public attacks on the club. Even Pogba has also encouraged the resumption of dialogue, as he asked Raiola to “be less conflictive” in his comments.
Paul Pogba has shown interest in leaving Old Trafford since last summer and Raiola has been looking for a way out for the player. In recent months, a war of declarations has erupted between Raiola and Manchester United. At the end of 2019, Raiola said United is a 'problem' for Pogba and insisted that he would not bring any of the players he represents closer to signing for the 'red devils'. In fact, in January coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed that United was withdrawing from the race to sign Erling Haaland due to his agent Raiola. In February, Solskjaer hinted that Pogba is likely to leave United if the team does not qualify for the Champions League. And the United coach was fed up with Raiola's comments and said: “Paul is our player and not Mino's.” To which the agent replied: “Paul is not mine and certainly not the property of Solskjaer. Paul is Paul Pogba. You can no longer own a human being for a long time in the UK or anywhere else. “
In the war of decks Roy Keane and Gary Neville got involved, Raiola backed down, until Neville himself called him “leech”, to which Raiola responded saying to the former United player that he could “go to hell”.
Woodward appears to be more open to discussing Pogba's future again, but won't let him go for less than € 120m.. Pogba has only played seven Premier League games this season: He's been out due to an ankle injury.
