Super is often the appropriate prefix for Paul Pogba. A superstar at a superclub in a supercar. The same goes for his representative, Mino Raiola, one of that cluster of super-agents whose wealth is astronomical and power even greater - and herein lies a healthy portion of Pogba’s problem.
Jose Mourinho is known to have held reservations about Raiola’s management of the central midfielder earlier this season and that sense of unease has only heightened in recent weeks amid Alexis Sanchez’s arrival and a worrying dip in form.
Mourinho has been agitated by Raiola’s visits to the club’s training ground over the past few months.
