Paul Pogba is being tipped to be a future club captain at Manchester United, having worn the armband in the back-to-back Christmas matches against Leicester City and Burnley.

The Frenchman had previously skippered the Reds for the Champions League double header against Basel earlier in the season, but the 2-2 draw at King Power Stadium on Saturday 23 December was the first time he had the honour of leading the team out in a Premier League fixture.

Speaking after that game, Mourinho insisted the 24-year-old has the "conditions" to eventually be given the role currently held by Michael Carrick.
