Ole Gunnar Solksjaer believes Paul Pogba could be the future captain of Manchester United, despite Jose Mourinho taking the role off him earlier in the season.

Pogba was the stand-in captain for the injured Antonio Valencia at the start of the campaign, but the responsibility was taken away from him by former boss Mourinho.
"I know the boy from before and he is a leader," Solksjaer, who worked with Pogba at United under-23s between 2008-10.
"He influences people. He cares and really wants us to be successful."
The 25-year-old always had a frosty relationship with his former manager, with many media outlets questioning the midfielder's attitude on and off-the-pitch.
But since Solksjaer's appointment as interim boss at Old Trafford; Pogba has been one of the Red Devils' strongest performers - scoring five and assisting four goals.
"Paul's a larger than life character, that is just the way he is," the Norwegian continued.
"Social media is part of the era we live in. That's just society now. We have certain rules and I don't have a problem with it."
