He added: “Mourinho will make that decision regarding who’s captain, but once Paul Pogba is settled into the club again, gets used to the Premier League again, as long as he keeps improving, I think he’s captain material.

“I think Paul works really hard at his game. I think he wants to be one of best, if not the best midfielder in the world.

"So he’ll keep working at it, keep improving and become a real bright player for Manchester United.”
