There isn't much Paul Pogba cannot do on a football field. The Frenchman can defend, he can attack, he can dribble and he can score goals too. Since Solskjaer's appointment, Pogba has been in fantastic form and has been leading from the front on many occasions. He is the one player who brings that X-Factor into this United team.

As such, it is only normal that he is a strong contender for the captaincy. A Skipper is supposed to show the way, he is supposed to inspire and he is supposed to rescue the team when the going gets tough. Paul Pogba has shown recently that he has all the abilities to lead from the front and be the man his team can always count upon.

The Frenchman is now a prime contender for the Skipper's post, however, Pogba does have a few areas that need a fix. He does have a tendency to drift in and out of games even now and his attitude and desire are still questionable at times. But if he manages to address these issues, there is no reason why Paul Pogba cannot be the next Manchester United captain.
