#3 Chris Smalling

Being dismissed by many, following the transfer of Victor Lindelof, Smalling has proved his doubters wrong, playing in 23 Premier League games this season.

An experienced campaigner, the 28-year-old central defender has been at the club since 2010 and has featured in over 200 games.

At 6 ft 4 in, he is a dominating presence in the air and is by far the most experienced centre-back in the team. Though slightly rash at times, Smalling has been captain quite a few times in the past.

If Mourinho decides on a centre-back as captain, "Mike" is the obvious choice!
