Twitter Reacts As Mino Raiola Confirms Paul Pogba’s Time At United Is Over

Paul Pogba’s time at Manchester United is closing in on its conclusion as Mino Raiola confirms his exit is more or less certain.
The Frenchman returned to the red side of Manchester as their record signing 4 years ago following his departure under Sir Alex Ferguson. Pogba became an instant fan-favourite and his side’s best midfielder, playing a significant role in all of United’s success post-Fergie.
However, things haven’t always been easy for the midfielder in England. The former Juventus star struggled in his debut season to make any impact for months and despite remaining as one of the best midfielders in the League, he was constantly under fire due to his lack of consistency.
The previous campaign’s bad form has unfortunately carried on to this season and the box-to-box midfielder has never been under fire the way he is right now. Fans and big-name critics are getting frustrated and it seems the Red Devil also shares the same frustration as he seems to have decided to find a way out.
According to Raiola, things are “over” for the playmaker at Old Trafford. Fans were baffled at the suddenness of the news, after all, nobody expected such a big revelation to drop today.

Pogba might be the only one grateful Manchester is in tier three and fans aren’t allowed at Old Trafford. Him and his agent have treated the club with contempt again and again and majority of supporters are sick of it. The day before the biggest game of the season. Unbelievable.

Paul Pogba came back and said he’s feeling more like himself, he’s fully back to fitness after having Covid, tells MUTV he wants to get two wins this week and help the team win and then Raiola drops that. If he can’t see that his agent is dragging him down now, he never will.

His two brothers, Deschamps and of course Raiola, the mouthpieces for Paul Pogba.
Convenient that he never stopped them from talking shit about the club hasn’t it?
They were definitely his words, off ya go mate we have Bruno now who is showing you up in every game. 😂👍🏻

Two years ago, Pogba was benched but United backed him and sacked the manager who’s currently top of the Premier League. Pogba’s been back on the bench and one would imagine #mufc won’t be backing him over the manager this time.

#mufc have long wanted to get rid of Paul Pogba, so the feeling is mutual #mulive [@FAFiltvedt]

It seems very likely that the English giants will attempt to offload the 27-year-old as soon as possible. It would be in the club’s best interests to look for a good enough replacement at the same time.
The French international is obviously a very gifted player, but he hasn’t made things easy for himself — not only has he failed to be consistent and committed, his Italian representative has also corroded his relationship with the higher-ups. Now, all that is left to be seen is the Frenchman’s next destination.
