Sports agent Mino Raiola revealed that Paul Pogba has to leave Manchester United after many hardships with the team.
In an interview with the Italian newspaper, 'Tuttosport,' Raiola said that the 27-year-old midfielder is now ready to leave Manchester United after playing in only five games of the Premier League. His time was spoiled when he tested positive for the coronavirus last August.
Pogba said that after he contracted the coronavirus, he got tired fast, and he seemed to gasp out of breath, even during the team's training. His first game since his recovery was unsettling. Pogba could still feel the aftermath of the infection after being subbed in their match against Crystal Palace, who handed Manchester a painful 3-1 loss.
"I will start the game and let's see,' but I was very out of breath and it took me a long time to get back to my fitness and to get back physically good," Pogba said during the start of the season.
Pogba has only appeared in 22 games last season due to an ankle injury.
His journey with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had become difficult as Raiola said that Pogba is 'unhappy' under his management.

Raiola also added that the 'Premier's current priciest player' requested a 'change of scene.' It sparked many rumors that the French footballer is now eyeing a new team, although his contract with Manchester will end in 2022 yet.
According to Pogba's agent, the French player should shift teams for his desired change of scene. "His contract is up in a year-and-a-half, in the summer of 2022, but I think the best solution for all sides is a transfer in the next window," Raiola said.
It appears that the coronavirus and the ankle injury are not the only nuisances that Pogba experienced. He mentioned that he also had issues with his role. Voicing his frustration to the club was crystal-clear, with Bruno Fernandes occupying his midfielder spot.
France national team coach Didier Deschamps was honest about Pogba's situation. Deschamps said that Pogba is in a situation where he could not be happy anymore with his club, positioning, and playing time.
Pogba has shown his deep interest to play with La Liga's Real Madrid in the future, but Raiola hinted that Pogba could return to Juventus for a possible reunion in Italy.
