Man United announced that Antonia Valencia will be leaving the club at the end of the season. After spending 10 years at Old Trafford, the South American man will now wave goodbye to the English giant, with his contract set to expire this summer.
This means the Red Devils' first-choice captaincy, one that was handed to the Ecuadorian by Jose Mourinho, will become available. According to reports out of Britain, Paul Pogba is in-line to become the club's new skipper.
As reported by the Sun, the Frenchman has shown great leadership under the helm of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, impressing the interim manager. While Mourinho saw things differently and stripped the World Cup winner of the vice-captaincy, the current Norwegian boss is ready to hand the armband to the 25-year-old.
This means bad news for Ashley Young. In the absence of Valencia, currently out with injury, the English full-back has captained the 20-time Premier League champion. However, he looks unlikely to retain that title next season.
However, things could change should Solskjaer fail to land the permanent job. The Norwegian icon is worthy of the full-time job in the eyes of many after turning things around at the Theatre of Dreams but several other candidates continue to be linked with the Man Utd job, namely Mauricio Pochettino.
Pogba is due in action later today when the Red Devils take on Southampton. The English giant will host the Saints, as the Frenchman aims to add to his tally of 11 goals and nine assists in the Premier League this season.
