Paul Pogba's transfer to Manchester United took two years to complete

The superstar midfielder's agent profited hugely from the world-record transfer earlier this summer.

Pogba completed an £89m switch from Juventus back to Old Trafford after leaving for Turin in 2012.

Raiola received around £20m for the deal and put in 24 months work to make it happen.

He told the Financial Times: "Look, Pogba could have gone to all the top clubs.

"But Real Madrid had just won the Champions League. He’d have been a trophy player there.

"Barcelona — their three trophies are Messi, Neymar and Suarez.

"What you see is the final result of years of sculpting. I spent two years working on Manchester United’s deal with Paul."

 

Pogba's move to United was the transfer saga of the summer and wasn't completed until he returned from holiday at the start of August.

He's struggled to get into his stride but has shown glimpses of the class he clearly possesses.
