'Pogba was a cheap player!' - Raiola reveals how Man Utd saved €100m on transfer

The Frenchman's agent maintains that the midfielder's world-record fee was cheap, and that he should have cost over €200m

Manchester United signed Paul Pogba on the cheap, according to his agent Mino Raiola, who claims he should have cost around €100 million more.

United made the France international the world's most expensive footballer in 2016, paying £89m (€105m) to recruit the midfielder from Serie A giants Juventus.

Pogba's fee was ultimately eclipsed by Neymar's €222m move to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona, but Raiola insists that the France international should have cost even more.

Indeed, he maintains that Pogba's contract involved a clause allowing him to choose his next destination, as opposed to Juve, and that he had his heart set on a return to the club he initially left in 2012.
