REVEALED: Rashford and Pogba rejected Man Utd captaincy

Marcus Rashford refused to take the Manchester United captaincy under manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, it has been revealed.

Solskjaer admitted last week that two players had rejected the captaincy when offered, though refused to name them.

He told the Athletic: “Some weren’t as good as their own perception of themselves.

“I won’t name names but I was very disappointed when a couple turned down the chance to be captain.

“I was also disappointed when others said they wouldn’t play or train because they wanted to force their way out.”

And now a source tells The Sun: “Paul Pogba was offered it but said he wanted to leave the club so turned it down.

“Rashford was also asked to take the captaincy but he said he didn’t think he was ready for it.”
