Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba, has finally broken the silence on his future at the club after his agent, Mino Railo sparked exit row.
The Italian super-agent had on Monday, a night before the club’s tough fixture against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, said that “Paul is unhappy at Man Utd” and needs to leave in the next transfer window.
Despite the lack of respect and consideration for the club and the Leipzig fixture, the Frenchman refused to comment on Raiola’s statement in order to focus on United game which they eventually lost 3-2 and crashed out of the Champions League.
Speaking finally on Saturday, Pogba on social media stated that he is 1000% committed to the club and is only interested in what happens now and not the future.
In what looks like a dig at his agent or a clapback at critics, Pogba who scored in United’s loss against RB Leipzig said, “when you don’t know what’s going on inside don’t talk.”
He said: “I’ve always fought and will always fight for @manchesterunited , my teammates and the fans. Bla bla is not important. The future is far, today is what matters and I am 1000% involved! Always strong together.. all has been clear between the club and myself and that will never change. When you don’t know what’s going on inside don’t talk.”

Following the comment, fellow Manchester United teammates, Bruno Fernandes and Jesse Lingard showed support for the Frenchman while the club also responded to the Instagram post with a love symbol.
Meanwhile, before United’s 0-0 draw against Manchester City on Saturday night, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer pulled his weight behind the Frenchman by saying that he is committed to the club.
“I think I said during the week, of course, that this is a team game. Paul is part of this team, he’s very focused on contributing when he’s here,” Solskjaer said.
“He’s got a hunger, an appetite to play. He wants to play, he wants to train. There have been other players that have refused to train or play, they’re not here anymore of course, but Paul has not once done that. He’s just focused on performing when he gets the chance.
“That’s the good thing about Paul. He has got the quality, but has also got the desire to do well when he comes on, like he did against Leipzig – he did have a positive impact.”
