On the eve of their must-not-lose Champions League group stage finale at RB Leipzig, Manchester's United preparations were thrown into chaos by Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola's untimely but deliberate comments.
Raiola said his client's time at Old Trafford was 'over' - overshadowing the Red Devils' focus on their game in Germany. A day later and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side were dumped out of the competition after a 3-2 defeat - which saw Pogba start as a substitute.
The furore over Pogba and Raiola has continued and United now must regroup ahead of the small matter of 'noisy neighbours' Manchester City coming to visit on Saturday evening for the Manchester derby in the Premier League.
