Ole Gunnar Solskjaer talked about Pogba after the pre-season friendly clash with Perth Glory.
According to him, the Frenchman could be the Manchester United captain when asked by journalists before adding that Ashley Young has the armband for now whenever he plays.
Paul Pogba stirred controversy in June after admitting that he wants a new challenge and that prompted serious transfer rumours linking him with Real Madrid and Juventus.
The 26-year-old has two years left on his current deal at Manchester United with the option of an additional year.
Pogba returned to Old Trafford three years ago in a then world-record deal of around £89m.
