Paul Pogba wanted Manchester United challenge

19 September 2016 - 13:41

Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has said that Paul Pogba chose to join Man United for the challenge instead of the "easy" option Real Madrid. Raiola was crucial in securing the record deal for Paul Pogba worth £93.25M while also pocketing £20M himself through agent fees. 

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso
  • Raiola said "For the player, Real Madrid would have been easier, La Liga, Champions League, but he wanted the greater challenge.I think Manchester United showed the world this summer that they were not going to stand still, they want to be the best."

    Pogba has yet to show he is worth the fee paid united but surely he can only improve in the remainder of the season
