Paul Pogba is not happy with Manchester United and has to leave the club in the summer transfer window, according to his agent Mino Raiola.
Pogba, whose contract expires in the summer of 2022, has only started five Premier League games for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this season after recovering from Covid-19.
He scored his first league goal of the season in United’s 3-1 comeback over West Ham at London Stadium on Saturday.

However, the French midfielder’s agent says he “needs a change of scenery” and Manchester United should consider getting rid of him or face the prospect of losing him in a free transfer because they have no intention of extending his current contract.
Talking to TuttosportRaiola said: “There is no point beating around the bush. It is better to speak clearly, look ahead and avoid wasting time finding culprits.”
Raiola says Pogba has no intention of extending his current contract at Man Utd, which expires in June 2022
“Paul is not happy at Man Utd, he can’t express himself how he wants and how people expect him to.
“He needs to change teams, he needs a change of scenery. He has a contract that expires in a year and a half, in the summer of 2022, but the best solution for all parties is a transfer in the next (summer).” window.
“Otherwise, the Old Trafford club, with whom I have a great relationship, knows well that it would risk losing him in a free transfer, since it is not the intention of the player to extend the contract at the moment.
“If anyone can’t understand this then they know little or nothing about football. Anyway, they are free to blame myself if Paul leaves next summer.”
Pogba, who rejoined United from Juventus for £ 89 million in 2016, revealed his desire to play for Real Madrid, the La Liga giants, in October.
Manchester United declined to comment when approached Sky Sports News.

Jamie Carragher believes that Pogba will be fully aware of what his agent Raiola is saying and believes that United should get rid of him if possible.
Speaking in Monday night footballJamie Carragher called Pogba and Raiola “shameful” and urged Manchester United to remove the Frenchman as soon as possible.
“Get rid of it,” said the Sky sports pandit. “I have been saying this for 12 months. I think the two of them are disgraceful.
“Agents in this day and age are not just agents. They are parents, they are a best friend, they are a financial advisor, they book vacations, they go together.
“He will be Pogba’s best friend, so Pogba will be very aware of what will come out of his mouth, and if it weren’t, he should fire his agent. It’s very simple. That’s all that needs to happen.”
“With Cristiano Ronaldo at United, there was always talk that he was going to Real Madrid and almost everyone knew that he was going to go to Madrid at some point.
“Man United had to put up with it because he was worth it. Pogba is not worth it. Get rid of him.”
The problem for United, according to Carragher, will be finding a suitable suitor for the 27-year-old.
“There is no possibility in the world that Real Madrid or Barcelona buy it,” he added.
“I was already stunned today by Arsenal’s performance, but I’ll be stunned again if they come for him. I wouldn’t go near him.”
