Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed Michael Carrick is new club captain.

Carrick wore the armband for victory over LA Galaxy on Saturday.

Mourinho said: "We don't have a vice-captain, a captain is enough and Michael is obviously the captain. I don't like the criteria for the captain to just be the one who has spent the most time at the club because sometimes you have somebody with the armband just because he arrived before other players.

"We are going to try and feel and make decisions. We have people that, step by step, we have to prepare because Michael will be the captain for one year, maybe two if he decides to do that and his body resists to the demands of the Premier League and Champions League. But for the season we will have only one captain."
