Saha 'baffled' by Raiola handling of Man Utd midfielder Pogba

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has hit out at agent Mino Raiola over his handling of Paul Pogba.

Raiola, who represents the French midfielder, revealed that his client would be leaving Old Trafford one day before the Red Devils' do-or-die group stage tie with RB Leipzig last week - which Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team lost 3-2.

Saha told GentingBet: "I'm baffled with the situation with Paul Pogba. I really love Pogba, he's someone I consider highly, but this communication is a joke.

"I was shocked and I can't believe something like this happened because this (Leipzig) game was so important for United.

"I'm not speaking as a fan, I'm speaking about Manchester United in general, you think that it's a big game, going into the last 16. You need that focus, but the focus was on one player.

"This is unbelievable, the headlines were about Pogba because of the agent – it wasn't even Pogba who said anything. I can't understand how these things can happen. This is absolutely against the interests of the club."
