'Dreams do come true' - Tuanzebe delighted to realise captaincy ambition at Man Utd

The defender expressed his gratitude towards Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for trusting him with leadership duties during a Carabao Cup win over Rochdale

Axel Tuanzebe has described his first experience of captaining Manchester United as "remarkable" after a penalty shootout victory over Rochdale.

The 21-year-old wore the captain's armband during the third round tie at Old Trafford, which turned out to be far more dramatic than the home supporters might have expected.

United took the lead through Mason Greenwood in the 68th minute of the game, with his second strike in the space of a week easing the tension at the Theatre of Dreams.
