#2 Mino Raiola issues Paul Pogba statement

Raiola has issued a statement on Paul Pogba

It has been a trait of Mino Raiola, the Super Agent who represents Paul Pogba, to always draw controversies. With Pogba clearly stating his intentions to leave United this summer, his agent has not been too far behind. We revealed yesterday that Raiola had confirmed that Pogba wanted to leave and his departure was under process. The Super Agent has now issued another statement regarding Paul Pogba.

Speaking to Talksport, Raiola insisted that Pogba had done "nothing wrong" and had maintained a professional decorum towards United.

The player [Pogba] has done nothing wrong. He has been respectful and professional in every way and always.

The club has known his feeling for a long time.

It is a shame other people only like to criticise without the right information, and I am also sorry that the club does not take any position against this.

Hopefully there will be soon a satisfying solution for all parties.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.

Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.

Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
