It's business as usual for Pogba

MANCHESTER United boss Jose Mourinho claims Paul Pogba has not been distracted by FIFA's investigation into his £89m move from Juventus.

The world governing body is looking at the deal through its Transfer Matching System (TMS), the online platform that monitors cross-border transfers.

This is understood to be linked to claims that agent Mino Raiola will earn £41m from the world-record deal that last summer saw the French player return to Old Trafford.

Asked if the stories had affected him or Pogba, the United manager said: ''No. The question is simple. He asks the facts and, no, he isn't affected.''

Neither the player nor Raiola has commented on the latest developments, while a spokesman for United said: ''We don't comment on contracts."

The claims will be explained in greater detail in a forthcoming book called 'Football Leaks: The Dirty Business of Football'.

The book will allege that Italian-born, Dutch-based agent Raiola will receive payments for acting for the buying and selling club, as well as the player.

Mourinho was speaking ahead of United's Europa League semi-final second leg against Celta Vigo at Old Trafford tonight - the first leg finished in a 1-0 win courtesy of a goal from Marcus Rashford.

The Portuguese told the pre-match press conference: ''For Celta it is, in their words, the most important match of their history. And my feelings, it's also the most important match of our history.

''It doesn't matter what happened before, it doesn't matter how big matches we played before. 'What matters is the next one."
