Your captain and vice captain for 19/20 season.

[Reapersoul20]

De Gea Do we want a coward with no command to be captain?

Wow. You're just....wow.

 

[sullydnl]

Wow. You're just....wow.

Agreed.

 

[FootyGirl88]

This is slightly off topic, but Matic was told three weeks ago that he will probably be sold and that he should perhaps consider his options. Then, next week, he was told that he is being considered to become captain this season.

The state of the club...

Do you have a link for this?

 

[Reapersoul20]

Agreed.

Can't even engage with that level of stupidity like. Genuinely astounding.

I will bet you €100 for charity that you don't have a reliable source for this.

 

[RedNed77]

I'd like and expect a clearout, including some players who we may not want to leave such as De Gea & Pogba, so for me the captain and VC need to be players who I still imagine will be here next year and who will feature prominently.

Captain - Lindelof
VC - Smalling

Edit; If ones not playing the other probably will be.

 

[bosnian_red]

Kinda a situation where you keep young and Smalling or De Gea as the main options until someone steps up to the role. Dont want to give it to Pogba (plus he'll likely leave soon), de Gea full time isnt great if he wants to leave, nobody is safe long term in the team and you dont want to make a backup a full time captain. Think we're a bit of time away for true captain.

Serbia is a small country, it is not that difficult to reach anyone...

I work for a big company that also owns one of the biggest Serbian sporting websites. This has been told by Matic personally to their chief journalist; the guy is as reliable as they get.

Of course, it was an "off record" kind of statement, but it was a far more honest statement than you can expect from a player giving an official interview.

And you're getting info from whom? And he was told by the same person?

 

[Hound Dog]

And you're getting info from whom? And he was told by the same person?

I wrote my source in the post above. He was told by two different members of the coaching staff.

 

[Celoti23-81]

If Herrera stays, Herrera club captain and Mctominay vice captain

 

[laughtersassassin]

If Pogba stays him. Yes people hate him but as Ole said he is our leader behind the scenes so just makes sense since he is also our best outfielder.

If he goes no idea. Smalling isn't good enough so shouldn't be playing. Don't like it on a goalkeeper and Dave is playing us as much as anyone. The rest of the team aren't good enough.

Herrera reluctantly but he gone too.


Our only option might be Lindelof Or if we buy someone like Toby or another very good Center back hand it straight to them.

Can't deal with another Ashley Young and Vakencia situation were your worst player is your captain.

 

[SadlerMUFC]

Keeper as a captain makes absolutely no sense to me. For me, you need a captain who can talk to the ref. If the keeper is the captain the only time he can talk to the ref is if the play is in your end of the field. Makes no sense. I also want a captain who plays for badge and not the name on the back of the shirt. That takes out Pogba. I also want a captain who is in the starting 11 week in and week out (for the most part). So who does that leave? I'm not sure and I think that's a part of the big problem at United. Nobody stands out as a leader. I was hoping Jones would develop into that player. He bleeds United and gives his all for the club and is at the right age. However, even though I rate him more than most here, he is still only good enough to be an option off the bench or to rotate in. Now my hopes are on Rashford becoming that player. I'm just not sure what kind of influence he has in the dressing room. He seems more like a follower than a leader. Perhaps he can prove me wrong, so for the time being, I am picking Rashford to lead us forward...

 

[Jacob]

Wow. You're just....wow.

Agreed.

Do tell...?

He protects himself first when his body is on the line during goal threats.

Why would you want a timid player AT THE BACK, for a supposedly OFFENSIVE team, to be the one people turn to for inspiration?

 

[StrettyEnder07]

De Gea Captain if he stays and I would have Lindelof as Vice Captain.

Pogba, Young, Smalling as some have suggested absolutely nowhere near the captaincy, if Herrera stays then he should be captain but looks as though he is off.

 

[el3mel]

I can't even mention 2 names that deserve the armband. No one in the club deserves it.

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

If they stay I'd say Herrera, De Gea, Pogba would be the best choices.

 

[Iam Zlatan Ibrahimovic]

Lindelof for the captain, has leadership qualities and will be at the club for years to come.

Pogba for VC

 

[Lennon7]

feck it give it McTominay now. He’s the only fecker who tries

 

[Ødegaard]

It used to be Herrera. But with his contract going out and him heading to PSG, It's obviously not the case.
Pogba if he stays could be captain.
Other than those, I'd consider no one at the club worth it & give it to De Gea.
Hell, we could do with a transfer and someone coming straight into the dressing-room with taking the captaincy.

 

[Beatleswereblue]

Anyone who thinks Ashley Young should be the captain of Manchester United should stop watching football instantly

 

[UNITED ACADEMY]

We really don’t have true leader in this squad. So sad.

Herrera & Young. But Herrera is likely to leave so give it to Pogba, May be he will be more committed if we give him the armband.

 

[RikRuud]

Lindelof.

 

[Suedesi]

I'd give it to De Ligt or Sancho to be honest. They'd be the senior players after we clear out all the deadwod. Ideally.

 

[Brighteyesmoose]

Shaw for me. I can see the same with Smalling too. In the future I can certainly see Dalot as being a good candidate. I agree with a few other comments regarding goalkeepers being captains, seems a bit pointless when they aren't situated in the thick of the action.

 

[JMack1234]

If he signs a contract i'd have De Gea as captain.

I've no idea about vice captain, just rotate that depending on the line up.

 

[Negan]

Koulibaly captain
De Gea vice captain

 

[SWE-Chucky]

Lindelöf C
Shaw & McTominay VC

 

[Class of 63]

Get Axel back, get him in the team and make him Captain.

 

[The Nani]

Captain: De Ligt

Vice: who cares

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

McTominay probably in terms attitude, effort and consistency.

But he’s still new to first team football, so I imagine the likes of De Gea, Smalling will hold rank.

 

[JJ12]

Some saying Smalling or Young - that would be upsetting but there just aren't many to pick from. Pogba a leader but never know where his head is at.

 

[ants7]

Coming up with a satisfying name is really difficult. Doesn't shed a good light on the team. The last player I saw in United team who seemed to have a bit of captain material in him was Herrera. But since he's now going, I don't have a slightest idea.
Young should not be anywhere near our first team and McTominay is way too young and has not earned it in slightest. I could get on board with De Gea as captain (if he stays) but only because he has saved us time and time again and not for exactly being a leader on the pitch. Lindelöf also could get a shout but he's not exactly Vidic nor Rio class of captain either.

Sad.

 

[Dave_Eckles]

I would probably say from Pogba, De Gea & Hererra - but they would all come under the 'of they stay' category.

Wouldn't surprise me to see a new signing as one of the captains

 

[Himannv]

I'd give it to Herrera or reluctantly to Pogba, but they both seem to be off, so umm Lindelof possibly.

 

[Zexstream]

We need new blood, someone with the fighting spirit of Keane.

I see nobody in the current team who can do that, so time to buy a leader.

 

[Silas]

Probably Pogba if he stays.

 

[Al-T]

Can't think of one single player in the current set up with the mindset and strength of character of Keane, Bruce, Vidic, Robson, Cantona, Neville or Buchan. Or even Rooney or Carrick.

It'll probably end up being Phil Jones.

 

[Andy_Cole]

Anyone who thinks Ashley Young should be the captain of Manchester United should stop watching football instantly

It’s going to be him.

 

[ricky-romeo]

offer De Ligt 250k a week and the captaincy.
