Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has come out confirming that the star midfielder is not going anywhere in January as Manchester United have refused to negotiate any deal for the star midfielder. Raiola said,

"Paul has always respected Manchester United just as Manchester United has also always respected Paul."
"I go by what he [Solskjaer] says. He [Pogba] will not move, and that’s okay. We are good with them."

The in-demand striker Erling Braut Haaland joined Borussia Dortmund after weeks of speculation with Manchester United and Juventus reported as his eventual destination.

United came out clarifying their stance on the lost transfer battle and have blamed Mino Raiola's high agent fee and inclusion of release clause which led the deal to collpase.

However, Raiola has cleared the air and has admitted that the Red Devils were indeed interetsed in the player but Haaland has chosen a different path and a better suited club at the moment. Raiola said,

“There was no fall-out between me and [United executive vice-chairman] Ed Woodward. It was just a normal negotiation and the player has chosen a different path."
“If they want to blame someone then, fine, blame me but the player is happy. He has made his choice and we went through a normal process.”
