Red jersey, black skin. Manchester United fans chanted his name excitedly. This little black guy has been having issues with the club recently. In order to protect him, the club did not give him many opportunities to play in the first team. But at the instigation of his agent Mino Raiola, Pogba refused to renew his contract with Manchester United, which caused other giants to become eager to move, claiming that as long as he was willing to come, he would be given a starting position in the first team.
