Raiola slams Man Utd icon Neville: He doesn't know Pogba!

Super agent Mino Raiola says the relationship between his client Paul Pogba and Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is rock solid.

Raiola admits Pogba's respect for his manager goes back to the time when he was a youth teamer.

He told the Telegraph: "He (Pogba) can't get mad at Ole because Ole treated him so well when Ole was one of the older players while Paul was among the young. The respect and love he got from Ole makes him unable to get mad at him.

"Paul is not the player you hear from (Gary) Neville and all the frustrated ex-players who say 'he should be ashamed of this and ashamed of that'.

"Ashamed of what? He works every day and does his best. He doesn't complain about not playing in the Champions League. Is he perfect? No one is. Is he responsible when things don't go his way? He feels it. If you are part of a team, you are responsible for when the team fails."
