Gary Neville has had his say on Mino Raiola’s declaration on Paul Pogba’s future.
Raiola told Tuttosport that in his opinion, Pogba is finished at United and will not be signing a new deal.
While this may be unsurprising considering the lack of progress over a new contract, the timing of the comments are unhelpful to say the least.
United are mid-preparation for a Champions League decider against RB Leipzig to see who qualifies for the knockout phase.
Former United captain Neville commented on Twitter, describing the timing as ‘terrible’.
Raiola of course knows exactly what he is doing, and has shown a complete disregard for United.
Pogba had a chance to distance himself from the comments, and instead chose to use social media to post a picture of his new haircut.
It has left several fans saying they never want to see the Frenchman play for the club again.
Pogba can win some supporters over with a strong performance against Leipzig, but any positivity from his performance would only be short-lived. His role in Germany may even be in doubt thanks to his agent’s comments.
