Award-winning radio and television personality, Patrick Osei Agyemang, popularly known as Countryman Songo has slammed Mino Raiola over Paul Pogba's Manchester United exit talk.

Speaking to Italian portal Tuttosport, Raiola said: "I can say that it’s over for Paul Pogba at Manchester United.

"Paul is unhappy with Man United as he is no longer able to express himself in the way that he would like and as he is expected to. Paul needs a new team, a change of air. He is under contract for the next 18 months and it will expire in the summer of 2022.

"However, I think that the best solution for both Pogba and Man United is that he goes in the next transfer window. If not, the Old Trafford club know that they risk losing him on a free transfer as it is not Paul's intention to extend his contract.

"The Manchester United board know the risk of losing Pogba for free given the player has no intention of extending," continued Raiola.

"If somebody does not understand that, then they do not understand football. In any case, let them blame me if Paul leaves."

Pogba, who has been repeatedly linked with moves to Real Madrid and Juventus, has endured a difficult time of late at Old Trafford.

However, the host of 'Fire-for-Fire' on Adom TV took to his social media to describe the super football agent as a 'big fool'.

"Mino Raiola u are big, big fool yes more fireee!. Foolish guy."

Pogba returned to United from Juventus in 2016 for a then-world record transfer fee, helping them win the Europa League and League Cup in his debut season under Jose Mourinho. He has not picked up silverware at the club since but was part of the French side that won the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Following the comments made by Raiola, several Manchester United supporters have been left frustrated and now coming to a realization that the 2018 World Cup-winning star will leave the club soon.
