Man Utd: Paul Pogba should ‘move on’ says Ray Parlour
Manchester United chiefs are furious with Mino Raiola after he claimed his client Paul Pogba is willing to return to Juventus in the summer. United signed Pogba from the Serie A champions for £89million in August 2016 but look increasingly likely to flog the midfielder at the end of the season.
The Frenchman expressed his desire for a “new challenge” last summer which sparked a public attempt from Raiola to engineer an exit from Old Trafford.
United quoted £160million for their prized asset, though, scaring off interested clubs such as Real Madrid and Juventus.
Pogba has since endured a tough season, making just eight appearances in all competitions due to a persistent ankle problem which he has undergone surgery on ahead of a March return.
During his injury lay-off, Raiola has continued to stir talk over a transfer and this week revealed he has held talks with Juventus officials over the possibility of Pogba returning to Turin.

“What I can say is that, just like Zlatan Ibrahimovic (who Raiola also represents), Paul considers Italy to be his second home and he wouldn’t mind returning to Juventus, but we’ll talk about it after Euro 2020.
"There’s nothing impossible in the transfer market, that has already been proved by Juve, PSG and Real Madrid.
“The achievement of impossible things is part of this business."
Pogba is contracted to United until June 2021 but the club have the option to extend his deal by a further 12 months.
Raiola is due to hold talks with United chiefs over their intentions on exercising that clause.
