Paul Pogba's Agent Rips Manchester United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in Twitter Post

Paul Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, has hit out at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after the Manchester United manager said, "Paul is our player and not Mino's" following transfer speculation about the Frenchman.

In a combative Twitter post, Raiola warned Solskjaer "you cannot own a human being" and said the Norwegian manager should "remember things that he said in the summer to Paul."

Pogba, 26, has spent most of the 2019-20 campaign sidelined through injury, managing to start only five Premier League games. He has remained in the headlines, though, as speculation has continued about his future.

Raiola stoked that fire last week when he said Pogba would like to return to Juventus, the club he left in 2016 to make an £89 million move back to Old Trafford:

Solskjaer's response was understandably curt, and he also cast some doubt over whether Pogba would ever play for United again:

The minimum requirement for Solskjaer this season if he is to keep his job is likely to ensure United qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League. They are failing in that endeavour via the Premier League at the moment, but there remains an alternative route if United can win the UEFA Europa League this term.

The Red Devils return to European action on Thursday when they visit Club Brugge for the first leg of their last-32 tie in the Europa League.
