Sarcasm? If not, why? What has Pogba done to deserve it?
Solskjaer confirmed Maguire will be the new club captain
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
There is absolutely no outstanding candidates for captain in this team now, so I guess it's fine.
In a few years depending on their progress, Rashford, Williams or McT might be ready.

It does not really matter, but it is example of our lack of leaders. Maguire is definitely not the player I expected from him, but he is stable, he is experienced, he is not an injury prone and for now he is our number one choice for CB, co obvious choice.
I might have been de Gea and I believe Olé talked about it before he signed his contract, but who cares actually? Captain is not important role and he is better than Young or LAV.

Giving Pogba the captaincy is like making Ricky Martin general of the army.
Haha, I couldn't tell.
Bit concerned his won feck all, but not like we have many candidates.
Is the first captain we’ve ever had that’s never lifted a trophy?

It's this sort of thinking which led to Ashley Young becoming our captain as he didn't have the respect on the pitch or above it.
No other choice. But I would personally give it to Lingard so whatever He does will have twice the effect. 'ManUnited FANTASTIC Captain shouted beans beans beans' 'ManUnited Captain has 0 goal this season!' 'ManUnited CRAPtain needs to leave now! said redcafe posters'.
He has played his first actual European game this season. He is probably the greenest captain that we have ever had.
Would rather Pogba but I guess he’s going to go this summer.
He is replacing Ashley Young. Not like we had incredible leadership standards.
Feels abit too soon for him personally, as I feel he is still not fully settled and still getting to know the club.
But it's the right decision for the squad, as he is the outstanding candidate.

He has shown himself as a leader at the highest stage surrounded by charismatic players. He has also been in the club significantly more than Maguire. The only issue is, obviously, his commitment to the club.
Good decision.
We're not exactly flush with candidates for captain but from the very little amount I've seen I'd say that Maguire seems like on the better candidates out there.

Maguire is one of the few that could fill in for the role. Williams looks like future captain material but it is too soon. Other than that we lack characters big time.
Makes sense. He will also be a mainstay in the team (you would think) for 5+ years.
I legitimately forgot Pogba was part of the squad
I've kind of moved on from him psychologically. I don't really think of him as part of the team anymore.
People complaining about Maguire as our captain.
Let this sink in, Young was our captain and before that, Valencia was our captain. Even Carrick, before that was barely playing when he finally got the armband.
Maguire is the first peak and regular player to have the armband since Rooney.
Excellent choice, I think he will get better as we get better.

He was basically chosen as the captain the moment we were after him for that money & when he set his foot at OT which is a bit of a disgrace to the club and the players. What he's proved as a leader to be selected as a captain? Even Lindelöf outclassed him so far this season and Leicester fans also admitted that he's no leader. We seem to be desperate to make this transfer and "British core" thing work.
You might have to go back to Frank Barson in the late 1920's...but no player has joined the club since the late 1930's and been made club captain after 30 games (or half a season) on a permanent basis.
Pogba may have been here in body but not in spirit.
Pogba may also have a magnetic character but he’s no leader, sorry. He’s not one to see you through the tough times. He’s a one man band.
Paul and his agent screwed up big; this would have been HUGE for Pogba's brand to be MANCHESTER UNITED captain...HUGE.
So indifferent that you follow my posts to comment on them.
Him and Rashford were the only two options to be fair.
Obvious/only choice. McTominay and Rashford deputising.
Without any doubt.
I’ll take that as a no. Figured as much.
You'd put a 21/22 year old winger as captain!?
That is utterly bonkers.
He needs to totally focus on his own job, as well as arguably being the worst position on the pitch to captain from.
Good. De Gea doesnt strike me as being captain material regardless of how long he is here. We will be lucky to see Pogba in a United jersey again (and certainly not next season) and Rashford can concentrate on scoring. Not many other options.
Yeah, whatever.
Dunno how much it means these days, for one thing. And we don't have a single standout candidate (going by past standards) anyway. So, why not. Or - who else?

Dunno. He doesn't seem like a leader at all, and from not having captained his previous teams to becoming captain of United in 6 months seem a bit weird. Saying that, there hasn't been a standout choice with De Gea being shy, Pogba wanting to leave. I would have made Rashford though.
Good choice and the right choice.
Good choice. Only other candidate being Rashford. Let Marcus concentrate on his own game and not have the burden of trying to get a little extra out of the guys around him.
Never like it when players become captain too quickly after joining. Should be a few years at the club before you get that honor IMO, regardless of personality.
In the ideal world, you want a midfielder as captain, but the next best choice is probably a CB. Let's see if Harry works.
Why? United are playing Europa League
Good choice. It had to be either him or De Gea. I'll be Ole wanted to make him captain at the start of the season but knew he had to wait as he just got here.
Ridiculous. A club of our stature does not value seniority. Phil 'feckin' Jones has been dreaming about this since he was a kid
