The timing of this release, right before a crucial CL tie speaks volumes about the respect Pogba and Raiola have for the club. There is no reasonable reason why this couldn't have waited another 24 hrs.
Get him out in January. Get Lingard out too who in my opinion, asides from the fact that he's crap should have been shipped out the moment he signed up with Raiola. Disrespectful to the club considering the merde Raiola had been stirring.
Forget any consideration of Haaland and move away from having him (Raiola) anywhere related to the club.
Uniteds own fault for tolerating Pogba and his antics. Rule #1 under Fergie was no player is bigger than the club and they were ruthlessly shipped out of he thought they were going to be so. Beckham, Keane Stam who all contributed FAR more and showed more character than Pogba ever did.
Having said that I hope he performs well in the next couple of weeks so they could get some sort of return on him. I'll take anything over 40M to be rid of him.
Really, what will United be losing? The multiple disposessions? The game changing mistakes? The lazy nonchalant attitude? The weeks spent on the physios table? The drama and distraction? All for brief widely interspersed patches of brilliance?
They'll be a lot better off when he's gone playing and culture wise.. It's not a Ronaldo or Rooney situation where its players that are actually contributing to the club that are looking to move on. He contributes absolutely nothing.
United need to take a long hard look at themselves as to why they've allowed this crap to go on for so long.
GTFO.
