5 reasons why Paul Pogba will stay at Manchester United

#1 Future captain at Manchester United or the vagrant dweller of Europe?

Pogs with the captain's armband

The choice is easy when you phrase it like that, is it not?

Paul Pogba did indeed guide this United unit out of the tunnel and into the light wearing the captain's armband early on in the season. Subsequently, his injuries coupled with a suspension that he received with a straight red card has led to it being taken away.

In the David Moyes and LvG era, Manchester United lacked leaders on the pitch and that is exactly why something like what happened at Etihad on Saturday would have remained in the realms of fantasy.

Paul Pogba's inspired performances have already won several big games for Manchester United this season. He absolutely bossed it against Arsenal and Chelsea. He was immense against City at the Etihad. In fact, there were times this season when he eclipsed his teammates and was touted as the best player in the team.

Pogba has the ability to be among the very best in the business and given he churns world-beating performance on a regular basis, it is only a matter of time before Jose Mourinho presents him with the captain's armband.

In a Manchester United team that is emerging into the lights, eyes still blinking rapidly, Paul Pogba is their greatest hope.

What are the chances he'd give that up to play 'settling down' at another big club? Add the tribulation and the scrutiny that comes with another 'big money' (obviously) move to the mix and Paul has his solution.

Bring joy to the Stretford End.
