Mino Raiola says that Paul Pogba wants to stay at #mufc and âwin prizes" but believes the club needs to support the midfielder more. [Telegraph]
âI think that Paul really went home, Paul could have gone elsewhere. But he really chose with his heart, to go home. Paul is a very, very nice person.
âFor example, Paulâs not able to be angry at Ole because Ole treated him so good when Ole was an older player and Paul was a younger player and the respect and the love that he received from Ole means he cannot get angry at Ole."
âPaul wants to be successful and happy and wants to win prizes and he would love to do that with #mufc."
âOkay there was big interest from Real Madrid and #mufc didnât let him go. We didnât make a fuss about it and he didnât make a fuss about it because I work in accordance with the player."
âYou know other players can bring things to extreme but Paul doesnât like that. So you work differently.
âThere was an interest from Real Madrid but they (#mufc) didnât let him go and Iâm sorry because I think that Paul being French then (Zinedine) Zidane is an important factor in French football history."
âBut Paul is not the guy I hear about from (Gary) Neville and all the frustrated ex-players who say, âhe should be ashamed of this, ashamed of thatâ. Ashamed of what? He is working every day and doing his best."
âHeâs (Pogba) not complaining there is no Champions League. Is he perfect? Nobody is. Is he also responsible for failure? He feels so. If you are in a team you are responsible for failure."
â#mufc needs a specialist, a sports director, someone between the team, the coach and the owners, someone who can bridge the sides."
âToday you need that specialist because the coach has no time to manage scouts and other tasks and I feel that is lacking at #mufc."
âIn truth I look at #mufc and think that they have more an American mentality than a European one. By that I mean that sometimes it seems the club is more concerned about the economic part than the sports part."
â#mufc need someone to connect the economic side and the sports side."
âPeople think I hate (Sir Alex) Ferguson. I donât hate Ferguson."
âAt least when Ferguson was there you saw it was his team â the way they played, pro-active, and the players that came in came in with an eye on how to play that game."
âIs there a better midfielder (than Pogba) in the world? No!
âIf you sell Paul Pogba would you buy a better one? No! Where is he? But if you create your identity then maybe you discover that Paul is ideal."
âIf you, say, you want to play with two holding midfielders then where does Paul play? In several positions."
âSo I say, make your identity of what you want your club to be and then find the âLegoâ parts for it."
âThen itâs easy to say, âif we play 4-3-3 and one holding midfielder then who is the best to play here and there?â You need that clarity."
âA big club chooses the system and then chooses the players. They donât say, âwe choose the system because of the playersâ. And then you say, âwe create the playersâ.
âKlopp and Guardiola have a clear thing, of definition, of identity. You know if a player fits them or not. Or you even say different, âthis is a player for Klopp or for Guardiolaâ.
âAnd tell me the player who you would like for Manchester United? You donât know because you donât know the definition of #mufc. The identity you donât know."

The hate for Pogba comes from a number of things.
His fee
His wages
His undoubted ability
His social media presence
Possibly in some cases, his colour
Essentially, most are just jealous idiots looking doe someone to have a go at.

It pains me to say it, but if we’re sticking with 4-2-3-1, and we clearly are, then we’d be better off selling him and reinvesting the cash in a top drawer ten and another number six.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah,.let's sell a 0layer with great vision and passing ability for a no 10 with great vision and passing ability.
Jeez
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ronald Koeman had exceptional vision and passing ability. So did the likes Franz Beckenbauer, David Beckham, Roberto Carlos, Andrea Pirlo, Lothar Mattheus and Pele.
Which of those would you have played at number ten?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mattheus in his younger days... 1990ish
He was so good he could play anywhere

Not a lot wrong with what he's said. He's a bit of a nob but that's no surprise.
People don't like Pogba because he does not conform to what they think he should be. He is not Wayne Rooney and will not chase down every ball. He is a quality player and one we can build the team around.

433 is best with Pogba in. He's not a ten and he won't track his runners so you need two hard working players in the middle to negate that. But if he were to return, that's maybe play him there by with a lot more freedom than the others who had that role so far this season.

The fack is this sh!t?
My hate for him comes from him being a lazy piece of sheet on the football pitch, the other things you listed do not bother me one tiny bit.
I've seen him put in a shift before, many times, and it makes me respect him more.
But then I've seen him strut around without a care in the world and it makes me want him to feck off to Madrid.

People don't like Pogba because he doesn't put in a shift most games. Simple as that. Bringing race into it is pathetic. Hugely talented player that is let down by his attitude /desire. Hopefully he has bought into what Ole is trying to do and comes back with the right attitude, but I won't be holding my breath.

This article makes me laugh, what riola is really saying;
"We tried to punt pogba out to any team possible. No one wanted him. So he must stay and get a new contract; which I'll make s heap from"
