Paul Pogba has been going through complicated times since his departure from Manchester United. Between injuries and multiple cases, the French player is in tough times. But he can count on the unwavering support of his agent, Rafaela Pimenta. The one he describes as a second mother continues to defend him body and soul. Asked by The Guardian this Tuesday, she revealed an anecdote about the environment during her first stint with the Red Devils. Indeed, she returned to a meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson.
“I can’t call it a reunion. I call it a train wreck. It started badly, it ended badly. Sir Alex came in and he was so angry he hit the table and our tea spilled everywhere. He was completely red. Mino was totally angry. It was a disaster.” Then, she mentioned another meeting a few years later, when La Pioche returned to MU. “When Paul Pogba transferred to Manchester United (from Juventus in 2016), I said to Mino: ‘we have to set the price starting from Bale’s price, plus one euro.’ Mino said: “why?” and I said: “so we can beat Jonathan Barnett’s (the agent who brokered Gareth Bale’s transfer from Spurs to Real Madrid for 100 million euros) world record. It has to be fair €1 more than Bale.” In the end, it was more.” In fact, he returned against a check for 110 million euros. But his return was a failure.
