POG: I’LL PROVE YOU ALL WRONG!

MIDFIELDER COMPLAINS UNITED’S £300K-A-WEEK OFFER WAS ‘NOTHING’

PAUL Pogba says he wants to prove United wrong after claiming their reported £300,000-a-week offer to keep him at Old Trafford was ‘nothing’.

The midfielder is expected to return to Juventus when his Reds contract expires at the end of this month.

In a new Amazon Prime documentary entitled ‘The Pogmentary’, Pogba discusses his future with his former agent Mino Raiola, who died following a long illness in April. The French World Cup winner said: “My thought process is to show Manchester that they made a mistake in waiting to give me a contract.

“And to show other clubs that Manchester had made a mistake in not offering me a contract.”

As revealed in the documentary, United actually made two offers to extend Pogba’s stay, while Raiola said he had also been in talks with Barcelona and Paris St Germain.

Pogba is filmed in the documentary asking the agent whether the Reds had made a second offer in July 2021.

Raiola replied: “Yes. They absolutely want you to stay. For me, the offer doesn’t reflect that. I told them, ‘If you want him to stay, don’t make that offer’.

“I will make them understand that if they really want you to stay and they want to build a project around you, this time they have to act differently and put the money on the table.”

The player added: “They’re bluffing. How can you tell a player you absolutely want him and offer him nothing? Never seen that.”

Pogba, who first arrived at Old Trafford from Le Havre as a 16-year-old in 2009, was allowed to leave United on a free transfer and join Juventus in 2012. He returned for a then world record fee of £89m in August 2016.

The Frenchman’s struggles at Old Trafford are summed up by Raiola in one clip from the documentary when the Italian agent told Pogba: “We must try to make you feel as good as when you are with the French national team.

“You’re different with them. You understand? You’re another Pogba with the Manchester United team. It’s not normal.

“With the France team, you’re the real Pogba, the Pogba of Juventus, the Pogba that everyone loves. With Manchester, there’s something blocking you.”
