We hold all the power, for now at least. Pogba needs to play to make the French squad for the Euros. Solskjaer should absolutely and most definitely not play him in a first-team fixture between now and June, and turn watch Pogba sweat and squirm. Play him and Raiola at their own game for once.
Pogba Future
- Thread starter wolvored

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
@Rozay your take on this? Surely Pogba should have a word with Raiola or even sack him, Ole has done everything possible to back and defend the player.
Give it a rest.
Minutes before one of our biggest league games of the season and the same day as a legend of our club passed away and this fat twat is posting on social media with a post that would make angsty teenage girls blush with embarrassment.
I don't see why any United fan would take his side. The (admittedly small) amount of goodwill Pogba has earned at the club dwindles every time his agent opens his mouth.
mino driving the price down...
Raiola should be keeping his mouth closed, I don’t think what he said (assuming you’re are referring to the Juve comments) was respectful to the player’s current employers (us). Ultimately, I’m not one of these that buys into this ‘Raiola is the boogeyman’ narrative, I think agents are agents, and they often make comments like this, Raiola or otherwise. I think sacking him would be dramatic from Pogba - they probably have a great relationship and have done great business together since the boy was 19. I do think he should ask him not to mouth off though.
On the whole, I think the noise is so loud because the player is not playing football. Whatever happens in the summer happens, and I personally still think it could go either way with regards to Pogba’s future, but perhaps the agent is just leveraging his client and positioning him in the best position to capitalise off all options. I find with his comments he rarely commits either way. He’ll criticise United and praise them in the same comment. He’ll talk up Pogba’s exit but then caveat it with a ‘but he loves United’ or ‘but he cannot leave them when they are in this state’. I think a large part of it is posturing, and whatever happens, what I WILL commit to is that my view is not that Paul Pogba hates this club or something. I think he loves United very much, although that may not ultimately be enough. I don’t buy any ‘money-grabbing’ narrative or anything like that, I think that’s just bitterness from some reds who probably deep down don’t begrudge him wanting to play elsewhere. I think the sole question is the direction we are headed. A player like him should be playing big Champions League nights every season. Instead of turning on him, I think our fans should be more preoccupied with wanting the same things that he does.
The tactics are starting to show. Make a lot of trouble so the club'll be glad to see him go, probably for a sub par fee. I'm not sure if we will see Pogba again this season.
Just as an FYI gang, Pogba probably has a contract with Raiola like most players do with their agents. Its not as simple as just "sacking them".
I am so done with Paul Pogba now. I was actually actively defending him all this time but I guess this has finally crossed a line.
But I hope we keep him and rot him on the bench for 2 years and fine him if he doesn't turn up. It's not like anyone is paying for him what we want. We should not budge on transfer fee and make him honour the contract. That fat f**k of an agent of his, should be taught a lesson in contract laws. And from now onwards we should not touch his players even their Ronaldo or Messi quality

@DoomSlayer sorry, I didn’t realise until seeing Ole’s interview now that there has been a new comment tonight. I’ll have a look at it, haven’t seen it yet.
Reporter brings up Mino tweet.
Ole: I'm not going to speak to him through the media, I'll have to speak to him myself.
Reporter: Will you speak to him?
Ole: Probably not.

He's a cnut.
Dump him or Fook off pogba.

This is an agent on the precipice if devaluing their player in the eyes of other clubs. Raiola seems to forget who pays his players wage and who paid his agents fee. He honestly needs to just keep his mouth closed unless he's at the negotiating table.
I'd put Pogba in the reserves as a punishment for failure to control his agent. Mino is crossing the line now.
Have Pogba miss the Euro due to inactivity and we will see if he still gets into bed with that snake.

Pogba can very easily make a statement distancing himself from what his agent says. He's equally as culpable as Raiola is.
I remember when he came everyone forgave the SAF warning saying Pogba was young, and on hindsight he was right to listen to Raiola but this really has no basis or reason. We would obviously sell Pogba this summer without the need for Raiola to say half the shit he says.
Mino Raiola is pond-scum
This is the way it's going but we'll still need a £90+ million bid I feel. 150m was always a pipe dream, I thought 90-120 was more realistic for the player and profile but it's said we had no bids or maybe some 70m euro plus Bale's wage contract which is essentially a piss take 20-30 million bid in reality.
We shouldn't be colluded into selling a player on the cheap just to get rid but would welcome a serious bid. Shame we haven't utilized him and the Jose project went tits up and timing of Klopp and Pep coming has really made it look impossible to get close.

He’s a seriously annoying person. I can’t stand him.
I wish the club would just come out and say he won't play for us again, give the fat slimy prick and Pogba himself really something to cry about with the Euros coming up
Feck him off in the summer and use the money to get Sancho (and then Grealish and Maddison on top of that), we'll be much better off on and off the pitch

He's an athletic guy, I don't think he's a Rooney type who'll need loads of games, even after such a long lay off. France will pick him.
The only way we can avenge this prick Raiola is by asking for 120mill for Pogba- unless they offer that no deal. We should hold all the cards
There's no way that Raiola tweeted that without Pogba's consent.
Raiola is Pogba's employee. The agent is the mouthpiece for the client. Both of them deserve criticism for this message.

Ive been backing Pogba all season but this is It. He can go in the summer of he thinks the grass is greener in Madrid or whatever shit club he wants to join. And then go watch us be much better without that lazy man. Its fair to say he is a flop. very unmature and inconsisent player.
Im not even sure we Will get our money back. Wgo wants to pay 90-100 mill + 300-350k wages for that injuryprone donkey?
yes i am angry. and Feck off Raiola you fat idiot

What Raiola is doing is turning us, the fans, against Pogba. It’s working. Even if so, I would gladly get rid of him and his client for what we paid Juve. feck them both.
Yeah, I don't think any proper manager would allow an agent to speak about him in such a manner.
No wonder Guardiola has a massive beef with the fat bastard and I'm almost certain someone like Klopp would never deal with a Raiola. Sir Alex publicly called him a shitbag.
Almost a full season of no football, would he be fully ready not having played all season?
And how would it be viewed in France,the manager picking a player who hasn't played all season?
Only once Pogba is gone can United really get back on track with trying to be a successful club again. His agent is grotesque, the player himself isn't as good as people think. That's why no-one's paying the fee United are asking. But of course, United overpaid for him in the first place, which is part of the problem.
Me too. We should have let him go in the summer and bought Bruno then. He needs to play if he wants to get into that French squad.
The sooner Pogba f**** off with his agent, the better. Would take that bolded section a heartbeat!
Raiola is behaving like a cnut. Pogba will leave I just hope we don't relent on the price.
I think ole could toughen up his image here by just straight out saying he's done here and while I'm at United raiola won't have clients here.
This is an endless tiresome circus for an ordinary player. Cannot wait until its somebody else's problem

Extremely gifted and talented player. Skilful. Strong. Eye for a pass. Cracking shot.
But what’s the point if it’s for one or two minutes here and there? Having an absolute prick of agent to boot just compounds the fact he’s not right for us and hasn’t been for years. Pogba has his mitts all over this too and he’s as bad as his slimeball agent. He’s a United player and should behave like one. Can’t wait to see the back of him. But who’s paying +£100 for him. Nobody. So they resort to scummy tactics to lower his price.

Another thing to consider is I'm not sure many people within the playing staff have got time for Pogba at this point. Man Utd is a colossal club, is he really treating it like that? Not sure. His agent's certainly not doing all this without Pogba's approval.
TBF I think most fans are against Raiola rather than pogba, but a few on here are right when saying he will be judged by the company he keeps. Says a lot about a person.
Pogba needs to think about his reputation and image, especially if he harbours ambitions of playing for other big clubs.
Nobody said his appearance in the Euro is dependant on playing for the club. He will play when fit and one of the first names on the teamsheet.
Hopefully he has a great Euros and we get £80m+ for him.
Cracking player, just not for us.

For me, it looks like a team play. Meaning Raiola and Pogba are the same actor.
just saw Raiola's comments, he was making it sound like Ole said Pogba is United's slave.
I think I'm done with Pogba now. Ole shouldn't be playing him again this season and Woodward should stick with the asking price to sell him. If no one pays, then he stays and doesn't play until Pogba gets rid of Raiola or Raiola apologizes.

I love him. My favourite player, but needs to go. We need to rebuild without him. Similar to when Liverpool accepted Coutinho wanted to go and sold him.
Get 100+M for him. Go and get top quality players who want to be here.

There is absolutely no chance that Raiola would have been running his mouth the way he has been in the last few months, without Pogba's approval. You can forget any chance of Pogba "having a word" with him.
