Published on January 5, 2020, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has expressed his disappointment with Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola for publicly disrespecting the club.
According to Solskjaer, Raiola's comments, which were made to an Italian newspaper, were 'wrong' and he will discuss the situation with Pogba.
Speaking to the press, Solskjaer stated, 'No, I don't think I should talk to - or about - agents that talk about us. But Paul is our player and agents are hired by players - not the opposite way around.'
He also expressed his frustration with former Manchester United striker Robin van Persie, who criticized Solskjaer's demeanor after the team's 2-0 loss to Arsenal on Wednesday.
Van Persie, who won the Premier League title with Manchester United in the 2012-13 season, said, 'I don't know Robin and Robin doesn't know me. He probably doesn't have a right to criticize my management style and I won't change.'
Solskjaer responded by saying, 'He took my number 20 shirt and that's probably all he's going to take from me as well.'
