Pogba Tipped To Replace Rooney As Manchester United Captain

Former Manchester United player, Bryan Robson, has said Paul Pogba will be a perfect replacement as new captain, if Wayne Rooney leaves this summer.

Rooney could potentially play at Old Trafford for the last time this Sunday, when he features in Michael Carrick’s testimonial.

He has been linked with a return to his boyhood club, Everton and Chinese clubs.

“I‘ve heard Mourinho wants him to stay,” Robson said, speaking on behalf of United’s global betting partner Marathonbet.

“It will cost a lot of money to bring two new strikers into the club, to go with [Marcus] Rashford and [Anthony] Martial.

“So I would like Wayne to stay. He hasn’t had a great season but he still has unbelievable ability.

“It comes down to how much desire he has got and how much he wants to break more records and keep going at United.

“Only Wayne can make that kind of decision.”
