Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag is set to name a new captain at the club whether Harry Maguire stays or not with Bruno Fernandes most likely to get the armband.
Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag is reportedly set to name captain with Harry Maguire to be officially stripped of the armband.
Maguire lost his place in the team following the arrival of Ten Hag last summer but kept his position as club captain.
However, according to a report from the Sun, England International will officially be stripped of that title as Ten Hag continues to reshape United to his taste.
