Jamie Carragher has labelled Paul Pogba the most overrated player he has ever seen after his agent Raiola announced that the Frenchman wants to leave Manchester United.
Mino Raiola urged United to sell their £89million record signing next summer or risk losing him for nothing when his contract expires in June 2022 because he claims Pogba won't sign a new one.
Raiola has cast doubt over Pogba's future before and the timing of his latest comments will infuriate manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - but Carragher said on Monday Night Football that should United should be happy to sell the World Cup winner.
'Get rid! Been saying this since 12 months. Most overrated player I have ever seen in my life!' Carragher said, on Sky Sports.
'I think the two of them are a disgrace. We are all looking at an agent now and say, as you said, ask Pogba what he thinks. Agents in this day and age, they aren’t just agents, they are a parent, a best friend, a financial adviser, they book holidays, they go away with each other.
'Those two will be like that (crosses fingers). He will be Pogba’s best mate. So Pogba will be well aware of what was going to come out of his mouth. And if he wasn’t, he should sack his agent.
'It’s very, very simple. That’s all that needs to happen. I don’t know where he is going to go… I don’t get it?
'Man United want rid of him. Don’t kid yourself. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been playing McTominay and Fred in front of him in midfield. And he had to put him in because he was resting players.
'He hasn’t played for a month but he hasn’t been out. He has had an injury but before that he was on the bench. He played because they were resting players for Leipzig.'
