AFP, London :
French star Paul Pogba should have been Manchester United captain from the moment he arrived in 2016 and that might have prompted more consistency, former United midfield star Paul Scholes told the BBC on Friday.
The 25-year-old World Cup winner – who scored a superb goal in the 4-2 win over Croatia in the final in July – captained The Red Devils in their opening 2-1 win over Leicester City last Friday.
Scholes agreed Pogba has not performed at the level expected of him often enough – United manager Jose Mourinho dropped him for the Champions League Last 16 clash with Sevilla last season – and said the captaincy could be the answer.
“He showed desire against Leicester but he should show that every week,” said Scholes.
“He should have been made captain when we signed him, give him some responsibility, there is not one standout person”.
