Paul Pogba’s Agent Makes Interesting Comments About Star’s Time at Manchester United

• The agent of former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has hit out at the club for failing to support him fully
• Rafaela Pimenta feels like the transition period of Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson's exit prevented Pogba from realising his true potential
• Pogba left the Red Devils upon the expiry of his contract after failing to consistently impress

Paul Pogba's agent Rafaela Pimenta has lashed out at Manchester United for failing the midfielder. Pogba had two controversial stints with the club before leaving at the end of last season on a free transfer.

He rejoined Juventus, the club he left to join Manchester United in 2016, for a then-world record fee. His agent and lawyer has now opined that the reunion in 2016 was not a good idea.

Pimenta argued that Pogba rejoined Manchester United at a time when they were in a transition phase. The club had lost legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson three years earlier after his decision to retire.

Pogba was caught in the middle of the restructuring process at United under different managers.

While he did star in Jose Mourinho's side that won the 2017 Europa League, Pimenta said that Pogba always played when he was fit, but got criticised when he was out of the squad.

She told the Telegraph that Pogba's misfortunes in Manchester might have been his own doing as well. Whichever factors are to blame, no side was interested in renewing his contract once it had lapsed.

The French midfielder was allowed to head back to Italy, where he is yet to play a competitive game after picking up a knee injury.

The Frenchman made a famous £89m move back to Manchester from Juventus, just as Jose Mourinho was settling in as the new manager of the club.

He returned with a bang, initially looking like he would be worth his hefty price tag, but a couple of factors - including injuries, off-pitch issues and an infamous feud with Mourinho - thoroughly affected his performances.
