Paul Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, has revealed why Paul Pogba decided to join Manchester United last summer.
The 23-year-old was also linked with the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona, but ended up going to Old Trafford ahead of the El Clasico rivals.
According to his representative, the midfielder returned to his former club because he was needed there, which may not have been the case at the Bernabeu or Nou Camp.
‘Because I think: you have go to the club that needs you. This club needed them,’ Raiola told the Financial Times on why both Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic chose to join the Red Devils.
He added on Pogba specifically: ‘Look, Pogba could have gone to all the top clubs. But Real Madrid had just won the Champions League. He’d have been a trophy player there.
‘Barcelona — their three trophies are Messi, Neymar and Suarez. What you see is the final result of years of sculpting. I spent two years working on Manchester United’s deal with Paul.’
Pogba is yet to really be what United need yet this season, with the France international failing to find his best form under Jose Mourinho.
However, fans, the player, and Raiola will be hoping that Pogba is able to turn this around in the near future – especially after Man Utd’s run of four Premier League matches without a win.
