Manchester United transfer news: Paul Pogba 'in the process' of leaving club, says agent Mino Raiola

The French international’s long-term Old Trafford future is in doubt after he admitted his desire for 'a new challenge' last month

Paul Pogba is desperate to leave Manchester United with agent Mino Raiola "in the process" of negotiating a big money move away from Old Trafford this summer.

The French international’s long-term Old Trafford future is in doubt after he admitted his desire for “a new challenge” last month with Real Madrid and Juventus interested.

Most of United’s players returned to training at Carrington this week ahead of the new campaign, with the midfielder one of a handful absent.

United are set to jet off to Australia on Sunday to begin their pre-season tour but Raiola claims the club hierarchy have been informed that Pogba wants to leave.

"Everyone within the club from the manager to the owner knows Paul’s wishes,” he told The Times.

"Everyone knows the willingness of Paul to move on. We are in the process of that. Everyone knows what the feelings of Paul are.”

Solskjaer gave the 26-year-old permission to remain on holiday rather than return this week, having made three 90-minute appearances for France during the June international break.

Pogba made the most starts of any outfield United player last season, playing from the off 45 times in total, and that after winning the World Cup with France the previous summer.

United fully expect Pogba to travel with the squad with Solskjaer and his players flying to Perth on Sunday but Raiola is less sure.

“I cannot tell you anything. I live day by day,” he added.

Real and Juve both retain an interest in Pogba, though United are adamant that their record signing will not be allowed to leave.

The Old Trafford club are under no pressure to sell, with Pogba effectively has three years remaining on his current contract.
