Mino Raiola Insists Paul Pogba Will Not Leave Manchester United During January Transfer Window

Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has stated that the midfielder won't be leaving the club in January, saying he is happy to go along with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's decision on the Frenchman's future. 

​Pogba had been out since October with an ankle injury, but after a brief return to the side with substitute appearances against Watford and Newcastle, he was forced to sit out the ​2-0 win over Burnley altogether with further fitness issues.

He may miss out again against Arsenal on Wednesday as he faces a ​late fitness test, and his absence has led to no shortage of borderline farcical speculation that he could leave the club once the January window opens. 

Solskjaer, however, has ​kept the faith in the 26-year-old and continues to stand firm in his assertion that he will not be sold. And Raiola admits that the positive relationship between manager and player means that's a decision that will be respected. 

​"Paul has always respected Manchester United just as Manchester United has also always respected Paul," he told Sky Sports, as quoted by ​Metro. 


"The only one that talks for Manchester United and for Paul is Ole, because he comments in the paper and in the press.

"I go by what he [Solskjaer] says. He [Pogba] will not move, and that’s okay. We are good with them."


Raiola went on, explaining his continued absence, while noting that he has no personal relationship with Solskjaer - but Pogba's respect for him is enough to work with. 

"Paul is a little bit struggling with his injury that we tried to resolve and I think that’s our main interest now. 

"So if Ole has ideas about my player and he wants to talk to me about it, he knows my number, and until that moment I talk with Ed Woodward, because that’s the person that I talk to at the club. I never spoke with Ole.

"So I don’t know. I only know that Paul respects him, loves him for what he has done in the past with him. And that’s it, that’s the only thing I know about Ole."
