PAUL POGBA’S agent has risked further wrath from Manchester United bosses after questioning the club’s “project”.
Outspoken Mino Raiola last month claimed he will never do business with United again and said the club would even “ruin” legends like Paulo Maldini, Pele and Diego Maradona.

The super–agent was upset that fingers were pointed at him from within Old Trafford after wizkid Erling Haaland, 19, joined Borussia Dortmund.
But Raiola conceded his comments may have been harsh, but questioned what direction the club is going in and whether World Cup winner Pogba wants to be a part of it.
He said: “The quotes were a little bit strong but I think what I meant is that Manchester United needs to get their project right, otherwise there is no sense.
“I said what I said. Everybody knows the ambition from both parts has not been met the last few years.
“Let’s be honest, let’s talk about the elephant in the room.
“So we need to see in the summer if Paul is still in the plans of Manchester United and if Manchester United is still in the plans of Paul.”
United lost out on Haaland as it is claimed Raiola wanted a significant share of the player’s future sales value.
And Old Trafford boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted the agent wanted to gain ‘control’ of the proposed transfer.

He said: “It’s important that we use common sense.
“There are other things too when you sign players, that you have to keep in control. You can’t give agents the control by giving buyout clauses and stuff.
“That has been touted around, that is for me, we have to be in control.”
