Real Madrid legend Raul: Di Maria should never have been sold

Real Madrid legend Raul believes it was a mistake to sell Angel di Maria.

Di Maria was sold to Manchester United before eventually moving onto PSG.

"Every team needs balance and equilibrium and sometimes just one player can provide that during a game. Look at the team when Madrid won the Champions League final in Lisbon. Di Maria was the player that provided that function," Raul told AS.

On Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, Raul added: "He has a great physical presence and it would be a question of looking at factors such as price and general conditions. He's a player that Madrid would love to have as would any team."
