MINO RAIOLA believes Manchester United are worth more than £2.5billion - and that a player will soon complete a £200million transfer.

Raiola has worked closely with United over the summer in order to secure the club over £100m in new signings.
He is the agent of the world's most expensive player Paul Pogba, who moved to United from Juventus this summer for £89m, and fellow United arrivals Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
This summer saw Premier League clubs break the £1bn barrier for player transfers in one window as the new £5.1bn domestic TV rights deal came into effect.
And Raiola believes the game has outgrown itself because of the money available.

"Probably a Brazilian, because they add something special. Probably a wonder-child, the new Messi, the new Neymar will for sure make £200m.
“I don’t think it’s so important, people affect that £200m and don’t see what’s behind it. If someone’s giving me £200m, it’s because they’re making £201m."
Raiola has earned over £20m in fees alone this summer.
He bought a percentage of Pogba's rights when the Frenchman joined Juventus form United on a free transfer four years ago, meaning he cashed in on the player's switch back to Old Trafford.
