Manchester United ought to cut ties with Mino Raiola and refuse to sign any players represented by the disputable agent in wake of his latest outburst regarding Paul Pogba, says Gary Neville.
The outspoken Raiola took to Instagram on Monday to criticise Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for his comments saying Pogba belongs to the club, demand that the frenchman is his own man.
It is not the first time Raiola has spoken in public regarding Pogbaâs scenario at United, as just last week he hinted that the 26-year-old may move to Juventus within the summer.
Neville has accused Raiola of seeking to take advantage of United so as to force through a move for Pogba and earn millions in commission.
As a result, he feels the club ought to refuse to work with him going forward because the current saga is damaging their reputation.
âIt can finish with Paul Pogba leaving Manchester United,” Neville told Sky Sportsâ Monday Night soccer . “What must happen is that the club must create a stand against that agent. He has messed them around now for years, with Pogba and with alternative players, and why they permit themselves to be played Iâll never know.
âHe is a serious thorn within the side for them and United ought to just stand strong and not do business with this guy and say to players âif youâre represented by him we wonât deal with youâ.
âHe is in public making an attempt to embarrass the club all the time. He can say he’s defending the player and sticking up for Paul Pogba however what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer aforesaid wasn’t an aggressive move, he was saying that he was a United player, they paid ÂŁ90 million for him and that they wished him to play well. He wasnât claiming possession of him.
âBut Raiola needs Pogba out the club, he needs his next payday. He has made millions off that player and he can still do so. he’s the golden egg for Mino Raiola.â
Nevilleâs former Manchester United team-mate Roy Keane agrees that the club ought to sell Pogba within the summer, as his positive attributes are so much outweighed by the negative baggage he comes with.
âThereâs been several noises coming out of Pogbaâs camp for variety of months,” Keane aforesaid.
âThe easy thing i’d do is move him on within the summer. he’s an honest player however there’s an excessive amount of baggage with him and his agent so just move him on.
âSometimes you’ve got to lose to win. it’d backfire on you, however if itâs not right for the club and these agents are laughing at you, then let these lads go. look at the bigger picture.
âDonât be chasing after these players who donât actually need to be at the club. I donât suppose Pogba needs to be there. so simply shake his hand and off you go.â
