Raiola revealed his previous altercation with Ferguson and says he does not ‘give a fuck’ if he does business with Manchester United again.
The super agent and Manchester United have not been in good terms since Pogba returned to England in 2016.
Raiola has constantly criticized how the English club treat the France international and often openly cast doubt over the future of Pogba at Old Trafford.
Pogba rancorously left Manchester United in 2012 for Juventus after he failed to break into Ferguson’s regular team.
The Frenchman went on to establish himself as one of the best players in Europe before rejoining Manchester United for a club-record fee in 2016.
The legendary manager has occasionally blamed Raiola for manipulating the transfer of Pogba to the Bianconeri.
“When Ferguson criticized me, that was my biggest compliment anybody could give me," Raiola told The Athletic. "Ferguson is used to people coming in and [saying]: ‘Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir’.
“All I have to say that when Ferguson left Manchester United the club’s owner [the Glazers], by buying back Paul Pogba, told me that I was right. Because I didn’t want to take Paul Pogba away. [Ferguson] didn’t believe in Paul Pogba.
“So when Ferguson says: ‘I don’t like him’, it’s the biggest compliment that I could have. It’s like saying Sepp Blatter says: ‘I don’t like him’. Fantastic. I don’t care what Ferguson says."
Pressed on how his handling of Pogba has affected his relationship with United, Raiola responded: "I don’t give a f*ck if I never do another player with Manchester United. I’m not in their hands.
"I’m independent. We have only one party that we take care of: our players. And as long as our players like us, you do what you have to do.”
