Paul Pogba needs to be stronger with Mino Raiola, Rene Meulensteen has said.
Rene recently revealed that Raiola has put unbelievable pressure on Pogba with his latest comments.
According to him, Pogba has to stand up to the popular agent as soon as possible, so that future distractions can be avoided.
He added that MUFC fans want players who play for the club to be committed, and Pogba must prove he is one of those players.
His words, “I always knew that Sir Alex wasn’t too keen to get involved with agents, but he also realised the influence of the agents was getting bigger.”
“It’s been a constant thing that has run through his [Pogba’s] entire time at Man Utd; when Jose Mourinho was there the same issues came up. This is really poor timing. Even if he feels like that, the player needs to be stronger with his agent, what they can say and when they can say it.
“He scored a goal, so what a surprise he comes out with it now, but it puts such unbelievable pressure on him. If Solskjaer decides to play Pogba tonight, it puts loads of pressure on him [Solskjaer] as well.”
“Every fan at every club wants players who play for the club to be committed.
“This needs to be dealt with in-house very quickly, otherwise it keeps going on and on.”
On the game vs West Ham, “It’s a long-term thing and we’re two years in, but that game summed up the whole of Solskjaer’s time at United so far,”
“First half, they were miles off; second half, they weren’t too far off. Man Utd are always under the magnifying glass, even though every top-six club has problems.”
“If you take the best two players out of every team, they will struggle, and you could see how much United are relying on Bruno Fernandes to get a performance.
“As soon as he isn’t there, they fall into a slow, pedestrian pace, with no runs in behind and no penetration. If you want to win trophies and leagues, you need to be consistent. United has a team with bags of individual talent.
“They are team that can turn up and beat any team but also lose to any team. Every time you wonder which United is going to turn up.”
