Raiola enjoys Sir Alex dig over Pogba Man Utd 'choice'

Super agent Mino Raiola has taken aim at former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ferguson isn't a huge fan of the Italian who was behind Paul Pogba's £89million transfer from Juventus to United.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Raiola said: "I expect my players to be happy and I expect the clubs to be happy. That is my work.

"I do not want to work in front of what might be happening in the summer. For now he [Pogba] needs to be getting fit and then it is my job to get both parties if possible, happy. If one of those parties is not happy then there are other ways to resolve that.

"But that is not today the way to talk or to speculate. I don't say anything for sure. There's only one thing for sure in life and that is that one day you die.

"A lot of people did not think he would have gone back to Manchester United, people tend to forget that, people tend to imagine that Manchester United was the only club he could have signed for. That was not the case. He chose Manchester United.

"Maybe Ferguson did not like that but he chose Manchester United."
