Manchester United player Paul Pogba told he will not captain club again by Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has reportedly informed Paul Pogba he will never captain Manchester United again.

Mourinho was said to be furious with Pogba after his mistake cost United the three points against Wolves.

And ="http://www.espn.co.uk/football/manchester-united/story/3646542/jose-mourinho-tells-paul-pogba-hell-never-captain-manchester-united-again-sources">ESPN< now report Mourinho has informed the World Cup winner he will not have the honour of leading his side again.

After three games as captain in the absence of skipper Antonio Valencia.

The news comes after Pogba appeared to call out Mourinho's tactics vs Wolves, insisting they were too negative.

“We’re at home, and we should play much better against Wolves,” said Pogba.

“When we’re at home we should attack, attack, attack. That’s Old Trafford. We’re here to attack. I think teams are scared when they see Manchester United attacking and attacking.

“That was our mistake.

“We should just attack and press, like we did against Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal last season. When we play like this, it’s easier for us.”

Pogba is set to miss the Carabao Cup clash with Derby, with Mourinho's squad thin for the contest at Old Trafford.

Valencia, Luke Shaw and David De Gea will also be absent.

Mourinho's next option to take the armband could be Chris Smalling, Ander Herrera, Ashley Young or Nemanja Matic.
