Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba wants to leave the club, his agent Mino Raiola has told The Times.

Pogba, 26, has been absent from pre-season training this week, adding to speculation about his long-term future.

In June, Pogba said "now could be a good time to find a new challenge".

And Raiola has now 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."

The Italian agent added: "Everyone within the club, from the manager to the owner, knows Paul's wishes."

When asked directly if France international Pogba would travel with the squad for a pre-season tour of Australia on Sunday, Raiola said: "I cannot tell you anything. I live day by day."

United expect the 2018 World Cup winner to be on the plane to Australia.

But while most of his team-mates reported for pre-season duty on Monday, Pogba is away from United's Carrington training base with the permission of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - having been given time off after a hectic 16 months.

Pogba's future has been the subject of intense speculation for months. There were widespread reports of acrimony between him and former United manager Jose Mourinho, while the midfielder stated in March that Spanish giants Real Madrid were "a dream club for every player", though he did add that he was happy at Old Trafford.

Real and Italian champions Juventus have repeatedly been linked with Pogba, who is contracted to United until 2021.

Since rejoining from Juventus in 2016, Pogba has scored 31 goals in 135 matches and won the EFL Cup and FA Cup in 2016-17.

He was the only player outside of Liverpool and Manchester City to be named in the Professional Footballers' Association Team of the Year for 2018-19.

Let him go, he has nothing to offer. Yeye player

If you don't wetin united gain?

Man utd should let him leave

Make Norwich bring 40m...

And so?

"I cannot tell you anything. I live day by day"

This guy suppose be a politician... See dodgy response to a straightforward question.

Look we also don't want Pogba. If we could get someone to pay us £100m for Pogba we will Olx it (Sell it!)

But who will want to buy Virus problematic Pogba for £100m remains the problem

ManU fans how market? Anyways click link to see the full breakdown of Day 4 in BBNaija, and a review of the house mates first diary session!!!:

Leave, don't leave, I don't care. There are far more important people in football now so Pogba and co should kindly take a backseat. Though it'll be better if he leaves so that serious talents like McTominay, Angel Gomes etc can get their chance to shine. Kindly take Sanchez along too if you're leaving. Cheers

McTominay or Gomes. iya to ma jeyin lo fin sere hen

Pogba is making Man United look like an average club with his regular drama. United should take this funny movie away from the theatre of dreams!

I like paul pogba.. He is one of the best playmaker out there.. But he is way too inconsistent at his games. I don't mind him going to real Madrid for a deal that let us have isco

Make him go abeg. Let Man U bring back our CR7

Pogba is a player that rides on his team mates success.
Just imagine Rooney scoring from halfway line even when he's due to retire. Shows you he's a class above the current shitty players we have.

Probably eyeing a return to juventus or real Madrid because they now appeal more as champions league contenders.

Na una sabi, I just hope make Madrid comot hand for em matter.

Soldier come, soldier go, barracks remain.

Truth be told... Most of the fans and team mates have wanted that negro out since March.

I pity him... When one believes his own hype, without putting in the needed effort and hard work. No humility, nothing... Kante is a far better player. Soon, he will become a liability to the national team.

Sell the idiot

How can i be like Mino Raiola and Jorge mendes

It's better you leave. Old Trafford ain't a place for village local peeps.

You can never compare the likes of Dwight yorkes and Andy Cole to this Conakry village ballet

Manchester United will be making a big mistake by listening to offers for Pogba.. He's the best player in the team and considering the fact that United will not be in UEFA champions league next season,it will be hard to attract big player to replace Pogba

From the day Mourinho was sacked.....I never wanted the over-blown 'otu' to remain a day extra there.......


Juve and Madrid lets see what you have on the table.....


The fashonista should never be allowed to start next season.....very bad influence

Time to sell this idiot
Can't believe we let Mourinho go because of this idiot smh

To think he called him a virus and the fans went into a meltdown, supporting Pogba that time. Less than 1 year later, he's showing exactly the shit he's made of

Can't entirely blame him though, Man Utd are turning into straight shit, should have gone for Ndombele and Bruno Fernades so this retards* influence will wane and he'll go into irrelevance by himself
Nicolas Pepe, Toby Aldeweird and Kieran Tierney deals should have been completed now but we are stalling.

Jones, Darmian, Smalling, Young, Mata and Rojo should have been cut loose to make for better players already but alas, we are still here

Heard there's an offer on the table from Madrid. Isco/Bale +70m for Pogba

Hopefully we take it and run

if this guy want to leave please let him leave is not that he even has enough talent self

anyway see how you can identify a top talent in an organization
