Jose Mourinho's pick on #POGBA; #FUTURE CAPTAIN:

Jose Mourinho has tipped Paul Pogba to be a future Manchester United captain, saying he has "all the ingredients" to wear the armband.

Pogba is enjoying a fine season at the heart of the Reds' midfield and was among the contenders for December's Player of the Month award, after weighing in with key goals against Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough.

Speaking during his press conference ahead of Sunday's game against Liverpool, Mourinho was full of praise for the Frenchman, but insists there should be no added pressure on him to perform.

When asked whether the club's record signing has the qualities to be a captain, the United manager said: "I think he has. He has the charisma, the ambition, the mentality and he’s a good professional, so I think he has. Being so young and having all the ingredients, I think he can do it.

"It’s not fair to say that a player has to be dominant, though. He is playing amazingly well, no doubt about it, but the team is also playing well. What I expect is the team to play well and Paul to be at the level he’s playing at regularly."
