Paul Pogba could be next Manchester United captain... but Wayne Rooney should stay at club, says Bryan Robson

Manchester United legend Bryan Robson believes Paul Pogba is the ideal candidate to replace Wayne Rooney as the club's captain — but wants the striker to remain at Old Trafford.

Rooney, who became the skipper when Nemanja Vidic left in 2014, looks set to leave the club this summer after struggling for regular action under Jose Mourinho.

His boyhood club Everton are interested in signing the England international while clubs in the MLS and Chinese Super League are also keeping a close eye on his situation in England.
