José Mourinho is pushing for Paul Pogba to sack Mino Raiola

Manchester United manager José Mourinho is pushing French midfielder Paul Pogba to sack his agent Mino Raiola, something that he has tried to do several times, according to France Football.

The magazine claims that Pogba’s relationship with Mourinho “has suffered so much that today we are speaking about a possible departure”.

The real problems, according to the report, began on January 31st when Pogba was hauled off against Tottenham Hotspur and then on February 11th, after another defeat this time against Newcastle, he was taken off with 25 minutes to go.

Any eventual price for Pogba, he would even been on the market, would be worth much more than €100m. The arrival of Fred can also be seen as increased competition for Pogba, with Barcelona said to have positioned themselves for the Frenchman, according to the outlet.
