Real Madrid news: Paul Pogba’s agent takes first step towards Man Utd exit - claims

The midfielder is currently at war with manager Jose Mourinho and has found himself dropped from the squad on a number of occasions this month.

Pogba has failed to live up to his £89million price tag ever since returning to Manchester United in 2016.

The France international has often been criticised by supporters and pundits alike for his on-field attitude.

And now the Mirror are reporting that Raiola has begun the search for a new club.

It is said the super-agent is sounding out potential buyers in the hope of a summer switch.

Raiola is thought to have pocketed £41m from the deal between United and Juventus two years ago.

And he could be set for another bumper pay-out if he can get Pogba to move once again.

Real Madrid are the favourites to sign the 25-year-old as they look to replace Luka Modric at the end of the season.

Los Blancos are planning a mass shake-up of their squad following a disappointing season in La Liga.

However, Raiola must first convince Mourinho to part with Pogba.

The Mirror add that the agent thinks his client is not being played in his best position.

It is also said that he is trying to force United to give Pogba a pay-rise because Alexis Sanchez currently earns £150,000-a-week more than the midfielder.
