Who should be United's Captain in 2020/21?
- Thread starter LawCharltonBest
- Start date
Give it Giggsy til end of the season.
But in all seriousness, for me Maguire deserves it MORE after this... grit, edge, being a bit gnarly, traits of a captain.

We already have a captain and his name is Harry MinecraftCreeper
Why is that morale requirement? Most of our previous captains have had some problems in private life - Cantona, Keane, Giggs, Rooney. Separate football matters from private life.
As they say in PSG, if a player is punished because of a doggy night out, there won't be anyone left to start.

Uniteds captains since Ferguson retired has been pointless. A starting point for a captain is to show leadership qualities on the field and looking at the first choice United team I can only think of Bruno who has what is required.
Fernandes. Easy : )
Fernandes. We were a completely different team after he turned up and gave us the edge and winning mentality we've been missing for years. You can see on the pitch that he'll help organize the team and isnt afraid to make sure a popular player knows when something isnt good enough so they'll make sure not to do it again. It doesnt hurt that he's used to the responsibility of being captain of his team. As far as I'm concerned we pin our battle standard to him and have maximum influence over the next few years. We have other players with the same skill like Pogba and someone might argue that we might have players with the same organization or leadership skills, although we dont see it on the pitch, like Maguire. But Bruno Fernandes has shown both since he signed for us and thats what makes him special and why he has had the impact he has had. He's one of those skilled and effective players you would want in the team for that alone, but on top of it he's the determined and "do the work" type of player who is going to demand high workrate and performance levels of his teammates as well.
Mike Smalling should come back and be the captain
Fernandes might be slightly too new, may have to be Rashford for actually representing the club well.
Captaincy doesn't mean much aside from public status, Fernandes would still be the pivotal figure regardless of captaincy.

Fernandes seems like the kind of person who would react negatively if his sister was injected with a date rape drug. Not captain material.
Karl Pilkington was our Captain at the end of the season, and he should be our Captain at the start of this.

Agreed.
Harry Maguire.
Messi. Very good of Harry to free it up for him.
In all seriousness Maguire isn’t getting the captaincy taken off him.

No need to change anything in terms of captaincy
Maybe Lindelof? He catches thief and protects old lady's handbag. He is a hero.
Maguire should stop as captain as if true his sister was drugged you cant blame him being mad. Who wouldnt be.
Maguire.
Should never have been Captain in the first place and certainly should be stripped of the captaincy now .

If the club and Ole feel Maguire was hard done by in Greece, then it would be bad tactics to give the armband to anyone else. It will be interpreted as a rebuke against Maguire. Mind otherwise too, who cares about an off-field issue.. our team is just developing, there is no reason to strip off captaincy from Maguire just after one season.
He kicked at some Chelsea-player and then lied about it after the game, that was honorable stuff from a so-called captain.
This whole Greece episode proves he’s a real Man United captain
My thoughts too, now he’s more Robbo, Keane & Eric than I ever previously thought. Sticks up for people, takes no shit.
The fact that he doesn’t mind getting into a scrap actually makes me like him as captain more.
Urgh, nothing worse than outrage culture. He’s our captain. Show some support
If anything good can come out of him punching a bunch of cops in the face, it's that he punched his way straight into our hearts as the captain of our team.
We need a new song for our captain to add to his new-found international hard-man status.
Already a good candidate in the other thread about him.
“Do you know who he is
Do you know who he is
He’s Harry Maguire
and he's very rich!"
