Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has also been quoted by the Times as saying his client wants to leave Man Utd and is in the process of doing so.

UPDATE: It seems all is well, for now, with Pogba spotted at Manchester Airport preparing to leave with the rest of the squad. It’s fair to say he doesn’t look like the happiest man in the world, however…
