Solskjaer confirmed Maguire will be the new club captain

[Tom Cato]

He's England captain on the pitch as well, far more vocal than Kane.

I'll never agree with a forward being the captain of any team. The CB is the most natural position to command his teammates in set piece situations and lead from the back.

If need be a standout commanding midfielder like Keane, but preferably a true leader like Rio, Vidic, Maguire, etc. Players that command the field through presence are all captain material

To be fair, at the time there were not many stand out choices:

Fun fact: Phil Jones made the squad for the world cup.

And to think people were quick to suggest Bruno for captain. Maguire is a born leader, on and off the pitch.

 

[Yagami]

So chuffed we got him. Him at City playing Pep-ball would've been devastating with the way he carries and passes the ball.

Captain wishing the new signing a warm welcome.

“Loan” the captain’s armband to Ronaldo, please.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Kin ell, sell Cavani, bin Martial, rip the armband off Harry… this place has lost it’s mind.

I love it.

 

[smi11ie]

Ronaldo will get those players into shape lickety split. There is nobody more important than Ronaldo. NOBODY!

No. He wasn't captain for Juventus either, was he?

 

[Wilt]

Nope, don’t see the point ….he’ll do as he wants anyway.

 

[DWelbz19]

No.

 

[AltiUn]

Nah, I’d find it really weird if we gave captaincy to a player who just joined.

 

[Ali Dia]

He’s not going to be made captain so it’s a moot conversation. Better off keeping the harmony and hoping ronaldo reinforces it instead of ripping everything up every year or two

 

[MrEleson]

Ronaldo doesn’t need that captain’s armband band. He will be the leader by actions and example anyway.

 

[smi11ie]

If Ole was looking for a new captain I would say yes but it would be wrong to take it away from Maguire now. Ronaldo will boss people about without the armband anyway.

Assistant Manager too.

Can’t wait to see him !

 

[Tom Cato]

Harry Maguire has become more and more of an actual leader, despite some fans fawning over Bruno being the one true LeaderGod. Of course he will remain the Skipper until he's no longer fit for service

 

[Samid]

Worst captain in the history of the club

 

[AaronRedDevil]

£80m. The entire scout department needs to be sacked.

 

[Rolaholic]

Worst captain in the history of the club

Quite fitting representation under our worst manager
