Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has often been criticized for being a low profile character, devoid of charisma. And the rare times when he has stepped up, it sounded a bit wrong (see his annoying punchline against Van Persie). But this time, the supersub aimed just by attacking Mino Raiola, who revived last week the rumor of a return of Paul Pogba to Juve, while the Frenchman is injured and has played very little for Manchester United this season.
"I didn't speak with Mino, that's for sure. And no, I didn't sit down with Paul to tell him to tell Mino what to say. Paul is our player, not Mino's, "said the Norwegian before the match on Monday at Chelsea. Clear, crisp and precise.
Another year of contract for Pogba
Relations between the Red Devils and the longtime representative of the world champion are notoriously abysmal and the intermediary has added fuel to the fire by evoking in an Italian media discussions with the sports director of Juve Pavel Nedved for a possible return of his foal to the Bianconeri.
Pogba had joined United, where he did part of his training, in 2016, after a four-year interlude in Italy, for an amount of 105 million euros. There is still a year of contract in the midfield, but he would not want to make another season without the Champions League, had continued Raiola.
