Paul Pogba tipped as future Man United captain by Bryan Robson

Manchester United's longest-serving captain Bryan Robson has tipped Paul Pogba as a future leader at Old Trafford.

Pogba, 24, rejoined United last summer for a world-record transfer fee of £89.3 million, having left for Juventus in 2012.

Nobody played more games for United than the France international this season, and he scored nine goals for the club, including the opener in the 2-0 win over Ajax in the Europa League final.

But the expectations raised by his transfer fee and strong performances for Juve and France in last summer's Euro 2016 have led some pundits to criticise his first season back in England.
