Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola opens up on the player's future

Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola says the United midfielder wants to stay at Old Trafford and "win prizes", but he believes the club needs to support the player more. Pogba has only played six games for the Red Devils this season, after picking up an ankle injury during the Southampton clash in August. Recently, when he was announced to return to training session, his comeback was delayed because of illness. The 26-year-old had attended his brother's wedding in France on Friday and needed a medical check-up next day. Speaking on Paul's attitude to the club boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Raiola said: "I think that Paul really went home. Paul could have gone elsewhere. But he really chose with his heart, to go home. Paul is a very, very nice person. For example, he’s not able to be angry at Ole because Ole treated him so good when Ole was an older player and Paul was a younger player and the respect and the love that he received from Ole means he cannot get angry at Ole." After the long-term absence of the French player, many considered him willing to leave Old Trafford amid Real Madrid and Juventus transfer rumors. However, Solskjaer revealed Pogba won't leave the club during today's press conference. Meanwhile, his agent assured he want to stay at the club and win trophies with them: “Paul wants to be successful and happy and wants to win prizes and he would love to do that with Manchester United. Okay there was big interest from Real Madrid and Manchester didn’t let him go. We didn’t make a fuss about it and he didn’t make a fuss about it because I work in accordance with the player. You know other players can bring things to extreme but Paul doesn’t like that. So you work differently. There was an interest from Real Madrid but they (United) didn’t let him go and I’m sorry because I think that Paul being French then (Zinedine) Zidane is an important factor in French football history. But Paul is not the guy I hear about from (Gary) Neville and all the frustrated ex-players who say, ‘he should be ashamed of this, ashamed of that’. Ashamed of what? He is working every day and doing his best. He’s not complaining there is no Champions League. Is he perfect? Nobody is. Is he also responsible for failure? He feels so. If you are in a team you are responsible for failure,” he added.
