Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has tweeted to say there is “no deal done between clubs”, as well as lashing out at journalists who are reporting the latest on the player’s world record transfer from Juventus to Manchester United.

Pogba is believed to be on the verge of signing for United in a deal which could be worth as much as €145 million (£122m) in total - smashing the record of £85m which Real Madrid paid for Gareth Bale.
The latest indications were that Pogba had passed a medical with the club after the troublesome issue of Raiola's agent's fee, believed to be as high as £20m, was finally resolved.
But Raiola is insistent that no deal has been struck - despite overwhelming indications that the two clubs have come to an agreement for the France international.
Real Madrid had also been linked with Pogba, with coach Zinedine Zidane known to be a huge admirer of his compatriot, but there has been no real attempt to beat United to the player, who left Old Trafford at the end of his contract in 2012 as a 19-year-old.
Raiola's intervention is not the first time that the role of the media has been questioned by the Pogba camp.
On Thursday, adidas tweeted a video with the caption: "Don't believe everything you read in the papers."
