Manchester United's new world record signing Paul Pogba’s agent claimed that he will dominate for a decade. Although Pogba has not found his best form, once he gets accustomed to the Premier League, his performances will surge.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Raiola said, "It’s true Pogba is not playing his best yet, he is taking time to adjust, but people don't always see the bigger picture. He will dominate for 10 years. He is United's lost son."

The France midfielder has featured in all of Manchester United's Premier League matches, except once, since his arrival and was also part of United's Europa League defeat in Feynerood. He has failed to make an impact in the games and is yet to register a goal or an assist for the club.
The 23-year-old former Juventus player likes to dribble with the ball and has an eye for incisive passes along with the capability of taking long shots on goal and is regarded as one of the best talents in central-midfield.
Pogba was a product of the Red Devils youth setup but left for Italy because of few first team opportunities at the age of 18. Raiola clashed with United's manager at the time when Pogba left after his short first stint in England.
The £89m record signing returned to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window after four successful campaigns at Juventus, where he established his name as one of the best in the world.
Raiola, however, was against the idea of the French youngster moving to the Turin-based club because Italy is not the best players for young players to develop. He also said that he deserved credit for bringing Pogba back to Manchester.
"I had two meetings with Mr. Ferguson. The first was nasty on his part but, the second, I'd never had so much fun in my life. He is an iconic manager but I still believe the value of Paul Pogba today confirms I was right to do what I did.
"We had different ideas of where Paul was. What people don't realise is that I did everything to try and persuade Paul not to go to Italy or Juventus. I told him that the worst place for young players to develop was Italy."

According to his agent, Paul Pogba likes to take on difficult challenges and wants to learn the hard way. United not taking part in this year's Champions League did not become a deciding factor in the transfer.
"So, three months down the line, he is at Juventus and I said 'we started a bad relationship here, everything I say you don't listen to me' and Paul just said, 'It's not that I don't listen. It is just everything I have done in life I have done the hard way. I want to do it the hard way."
"Similarly, this time when it was about returning to United, he knew there was no Champions League and it was the greater challenge. Paul Pogba doesn't give up.”
Raiola unabashedly claimed that he should be honoured with a knighthood for bringing back Paul Pogba to the Old Trafford side, following Sir Alex Ferguson's example.
"One thing I see though is that Mr. Ferguson was made a Sir, maybe I too should be a Sir for bringing Paul back."
