Paul Pogba insists he can be a leader at Manchester United even after he hands back the captain's armband to Antonio Valencia.
The France star was named skipper for his side's 2-1 victory over Leicester City on Friday and delivered a commanding performance, which included a goal from the penalty spot.
Pogba was overlooked as the permanent successor to Michael Carrick as club captain, with Valencia instead getting the nod from manager Jose Mourinho – a decision that reportedly upset the midfielder.
The relationship between Pogba and Mourinho is believed to have been strained for some months and the player himself suggested as much when he claimed he would be fined if he said what he wanted to after the Leicester match.
