Not going to lie. I was initially disappointed to read this. But having thought about it, I've sadly accepted that Young is the best choice for captaincy at the moment.
He will only be a regular starter next season if we fail to sign a new right back. Knowing the club, I have to admit this is possible.
But we are being linked to fullbacks, so we can assume that the intention is to appoint him as a benchwarming captain.
As a benchwarming captain, he'd make a great placeholder for us until we sign a player with leadership quality and pass on the mantle. It would be more awkward if the captaincy has to be stripped away from someone like Lindelof, Pogba or Rashford.
Young probably won't be a captain that leads by inspiration, but he's one of the few at the club that can lead by example. Hopefully from the bench, but again, that's not entirely up to him.
