Manchester United received plenty of flak when they let go of Paul Pogba, but there's more to the story. In Sir Alex Ferguson's own words, "We had Paul under a three-year contract, and it had a one-year renewal option which we were eager to sign. But Raiola suddenly appeared on the scene and our first meeting was a fiasco."

"He and I were like oil and water. From then on, our goose was cooked because Raiola had been able to ingratiate himself with Paul and his family and the player signed with Juventus."

Juventus pulled off a massive coup when they sold Pogba back to Manchester United for €105 million, with plenty of pundits decrying the fee, but given the transfers that have occurred since, the fee seems legitimate.
