Paul Pogba has been filmed complaining about Manchester United's contract offers in an upcoming documentary about the midfielder.
In a preview of 'The Pogmentary', as seen by The Athletic, Pogba is speaking to his late agent Mino Raiola about United's latest contract offer in July of last year.
At the time it was reported that United had offered Pogba two contracts worth more than £290,000 a week and Sky Sports Newsunderstands he was offered a 3.5 per cent increase on his then deal.
"Did Manchester (United) make a second offer?" Pogba asks Raiola.
Yes," Raiola replies. "They absolutely want you to stay. For me, the offer doesn't reflect that. I told them, 'If you want him to stay, don't make that offer'. I will make them understand that if they really want you to stay and they want to build a project around you, this time they have to act differently and put the money on the table."
They're bluffing," Pogba says. "How can you tell a player you absolutely want him and offer him nothing? Never seen that."
Sky Sports News understands that United's contract offer remained on the table but Pogba explored other options and has since left the club on a free transfer for the second time in his career.
