Raiola: 'Pogba will not leave United in January'

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba will not be leaving Old Trafford in January, according to his agent Mino Raiola.

The agent of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has revealed that his client will not be leaving Old Trafford during the January transfer window.

Pogba was strongly linked with a move away from the Red Devils over the summer, with both Real Madrid and Juventus credited with an interest in the France international.

The 2018 World Cup winner remained in Manchester, though, and has recently made his return from an ankle injury to feature in two of his team's last three Premier League matches.

There had been suggestions that Pogba could leave United at the start of 2020, but Mino Raiola has effectively ruled out a January exit for the 26-year-old.

"Paul has always respected Manchester United just as Manchester United has also always respected Paul. And the only one that talks for Manchester United and for Paul is Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer], because he comments in the paper and in the press," Raiola told Sky Sports News.

"I go by what [Solskjaer] says. He [Pogba] will not move, and that's OK. We are good with them. Paul is a little bit struggling with his injury that we tried to resolve and I think that's our main interest now.

"So if Ole has ideas about my player and he wants to talk to me about it, he knows my number. And until that moment I talk with Ed Woodward, because that's the person that I talk to at the club. I never spoke with Ole.

"So I don't know. I only know that Paul respects him, loves him for what he has done in the past with him. And that's it, that's the only thing I know about Ole."

Pogba was left out of Saturday's clash with Burnley due to fatigue but is expected to be involved when Solskjaer's side travel to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal on New Year's Day.
