The 25-year-old captained Manchester in Friday's clash with Leicester, scoring from the penalty spot to give United an early lead and record a 2-1 home victory.

Amid reports of frictions with his coach Jose Mourinho, Pogba was asked about his status at the club.
"There are things I can say and there are things that I cannot say, otherwise I will get fined," he told reporters on Friday, as quoted by Goal.com. "When people trust you and have confidence then you are good in your own head, it's going to be easier."
Transfer rumors have linked Paul Pogba with Barcelona and Juventus, but United were unwilling to allow their record €105-million signing to leave Old Trafford. The speculations emerged after ESPN reported that Pogba was unhappy with Jose Mourinho's criticism during United's tour of the United States last month.
Fans displayed controversial emotions following Pogba's statement. Some users expressed outrage at the star midfielder, claiming that he should work harder.
Others contend that it is Mourinho who is the key troublemaker at Old Trafford.
