Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is not playing at his best but he will still go on to dominate for a decade, his agent Mino Raiola has told the Daily Mail.
Pogba, 23, played 90 minutes in all of United's three successive defeats against Manchester City, Feyenoord and Watford, and is still yet to register a goal or an assist for the club.
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 returned to United this summer, having left the club in 2012 to join Juventus. When Pogba left after his first stint in England, Raiola clashed with United's manager at the time, Sir Alex Ferguson.
His agent, however, said that he was not keen on moving the player to Italy -- and said he deserves credit for helping to develop Pogba then bringing the midfielder back to United.
Raiola said: "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.
"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.
"One thing I see though is that Mr Ferguson was made a Sir, maybe I too should be a Sir for bringing Paul back."
Raiola also contrasted the bravery of Manchester United in the transfer market with Arsenal's reluctance to spend. He said: "Arsenal have the money but do they have the balls? I respect Arsene Wenger. He has a philosophy that says these figures don't match what I want to do, so that's OK.
"Real Madrid? The will of Zinedine Zidane was strong but we were not sure it was the will of the club.
"Yet I think Manchester United showed the world this summer that they were not going to stand still. They want to be the best. They sent out a message with the transfers they did that this is the biggest club in the world.
"I always say to my players we go where we are needed. United will always be one of the biggest clubs in the world whether by reputation or balance sheet.
"Yes, Manchester United had no Champions League and weren't champions but they needed us the most. United had been talking to us for two years about Pogba. They had taken my player Sergio Romero and we had kept the lines of communication open.
"Paul said United was in his heart, [Ed] Woodward wanted him at United a year ago and [Jose] Mourinho had wanted him at Chelsea too so, when the two combined, we knew it was right."
