French starlet Paul Pogba is expected to leave Manchester United this summer after months of speculation, according to the midfielder's agent Mino Raiola.
The 19-year-old has been strongly linked with a switch to Juventus, but Raiola has insisted that Sir Alex Ferguson is not behind the teenager's decision to leave.
"As things stand now it is more likely that he goes away from Manchester," said Raiola. "I can only say that, from my point of view, Sir Alex Ferguson is top of the world.
"If Pogba leaves Manchester it is not because of Ferguson. If Ferguson had not been there, he would have left already.
"Even in our discussions, hearing from him has been amazing and fascinating. He captures like no other manager the essence of football. My opinion is not far away from how Paul thinks of him."
Ferguson has been open about his desire to keep hold of the playmaker.
