Paul Pogba's current agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has recalled the time former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson lost his cool with the midfielder's former agent, Mino Raiola.
Pogba, who is currently suspended after failing a drugs test earlier this season, has had two spells at Old Trafford in his career so far, the first of which saw him rise through the club's academy system.

The Frenchman was one of four academy players who were invited to make the step up ahead of United's FA Cup fifth round tie against Crawley Town at Old Trafford. Assigned the No.42 shirt, Pogba was awarded a place on the bench, watching Wes Brown score the only goal of the game to help the Reds squeeze past the non-league club.

Pogba, of course, left United on a free transfer at the end of the 2011/12 season after making just seven appearances. He joined Juventus in August 2012 on a four-year contract.
