Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba says he's happy being a locker room leader.

Speaking ahead of the Europa League semifinal first-leg with Roma the Frenchman has explained his leadership role at United and how he regularly look to push the squad in a positive direction.

"You can be a leader both on and off the pitch," he told Uefa.

"You speak with the young players and the whole squad to motivate them; and motivating my teammates motivates me in return. Whenever I see a team-mate training and working hard, that pushes me to train and reach my limits too.

"You need everyone to be involved if you want to succeed. You can't win alone."
