Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola disrupted Manchester United's preparations for Tuesday's crunch Champions League clash at RB Leipzig by claiming his unhappy client will not sign a new deal and wants to leave.

The Red Devils kicked off a crucial week with a 3-1 victory on Saturday evening at West Ham, where the 27-year-old's stunner sparked a comeback triumph.

Pogba spoke after the match about the need for the squad to "carry on this mentality of winning", with Manchester City due to arrive at Old Trafford four days after the make-or-break match at Leipzig.

"I think the character of the group is getting better and better and we're looking forward to the game.

"It's something that we want, games like this. It's a tradition for Man United – we never make it easy for ourselves.

"Of course we look at the games, especially the away game against Istanbul (Basaksehir) that we could have got three points, but that's just the way we do things.

"We do make it hard for ourselves. That's been ever since I played and that's a long, long time ago."
