Manchester United youngster Axel Tuanzebe has lofty ambitions for this season and beyond.

The centre-back started in their Carabao Cup success over Rochdale, which came after penalties following a 1-1 draw.

Tuanzebe captained United for the game. And he revealed in an interview before the clash that it was always an ambition of his.

"It's a personal ambition of mine [to be captain]," Tuanzebe said to the Manchester Evening News.

"I've captained every age group of my Manchester United career. I started from Under-11s... maybe even younger, actually. Under-9s. So to captain one last team would be a great personal achievement for myself.

"Marcus [Rashford] has always been there as well, in terms of he has a different way to lead and different types of leadership. He sets an example by playing well every game. I had a different type of leadership, I'd always speak to people and bring the best out of them with simple words and I would also try and demonstrate on the pitch."
