Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed Paul Pogba is under consideration to become Manchester United’s next captain despite the midfielder saying he wants to quit the club.

Solskjaer is looking for a new skipper after the departure of Antonio Valencia at the end of season. Ashley Young and Juan Mata wore the armband during the 2-0 win over Perth Glory on Saturday but the United boss said Pogba, who has publicly claimed he is looking for a “new challenge” this summer, would be in the frame when a final decision is made ahead of the new season.

“We’ve got quite a few possibilities there and when the season starts we’ll announce it,” Solskjaer told a news conference at Optus Stadium.

“We’ll have a good assessment and see how preseason goes. But, as you saw, Ashley will wear it when he’s playing until we decide on someone.”

Asked directly whether Pogba is one of the names under consideration, Solskjaer replied: “Yep”.

While leaving the stadium, Pogba refused a request to clarify his situation, answering: “Who needs to talk? There’s no need.” (ESPN)
