Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney believes that midfielder Paul Pogba is able to bring the "red devils" to the title.

In the absence of Antonio Valencia head coach MJ Jose Mourinho gave the captain's armband midfielder Paul Pogba.

In the opinion of United's Wayne Rooney legend, a French midfielder can lead the team to great victories.

"Pogba is a fantastic football player, but he still has to prove it to himself," CNN World Sport quoted Rooney as saying..

"If MJ wins the title, Paul will be the key player in this victory".

"Everyone says that Jose Mourinho is obliged to squeeze more of Pogba out, but first of all Paul himself must gather and demonstrate that he is a high-level player who can help Manchester United".

In the first two matches of the Premier League's season, Pogba scored two goals.
