Pogba wants to replace Zlatan as Man Utd's prime 'leader'

Paul Pogba wants to be the dominant personality at Manchester United.

The midfielder is aiming to fill the void left by former teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Pogba said: “Obviously, Zlatan was a leader, he was a big leader.

“He always helped the team and even when he wasn't playing he was a leader outside of the pitch.

“I have been here for one season and I came here to hopefully be a leader for the team.

“That is the objective, that is how you should be.

“You want to grow up as a player and as a leader as well.

“Hopefully I can learn from Wayne [Rooney], from Carras [Michael Carrick], from all of the players and become a leader."
