Raiola continues Man Utd tirade: Slams Neville, accuses Solskjaer

Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has continued his tirade against Manchester United this morning.

Raiola hit back at pundit Gary Neville after he urged United to make a final stance on Raiola.

Neville last night was discussing Raiola after the Italian posted a statement on social media condemning Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Paul Pogba comments.

Raiola appeared on talkSPORT the next morning to hit back at neville.

"Gary Neville has such a big knowhow of football that I'm surprised his Salford City is not in the Premier League already," the agent said.

"He should maybe be on the board of directors at Manchester United. Maybe he should ask them for a job.

"I don't care what Gary Neville says."

On Solskjaer, and why he posted on social media so close to kick off, he said: "I thought that what Solskjaer said was out of line. Obviously he took apart sentences for an interview of mine and acted offended that I'd offered Paul Pogba to clubs without permission or whatever.

"But I was asked if Paul would fancy Italy. He has a second house. That's not the case now. He's concentrated on Manchester United, getting back in the team as soon as possible and having a great end to the season. "

He added: "I was not talking about Ole and Manchester United.

"I have not created any culture of division. I don't need to defend myself here, the only person I have to explain myself to are my players.

"Ole should have read the whole interview and not snapped at me like that.

"The club didn't pay £90million for his services, the club paid £90million to break a contract.

"They don't buy a human being, they buy his services.

"I have no problem with Manchester United. There is no issue with me and Manchester United.

"If Solskjaer wants to talk to me I'm always available, no problem."
