Man Utd's NEXT captain is Bruno
Bruno Fernandes is reportedly set to become Manchester United's new captain.
"Bruno will be the new captain of Manchester United," Fabrizio Romano, a journalist familiar with European soccer news, reported on Tuesday.
In the meantime, Maguire will wear the captain's armband. Since arriving at Old Trafford in the summer of 2019, Maguire has worked to stabilize the defense. In his first season, Maguire started all 38 English Premier League (EPL) games. By the numbers, United's defense improved. After conceding 54 goals in 2018-19, the Red Devils conceded 36 in 2019-20, the season after Maguire's arrival.
His performances convinced manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to name Maguire captain just six months after his arrival. The appointment was controversial. This is because of the weight and star power of the captaincy.
At United, the captain has historically been a player who is an integral part of the team and someone who has been a part of the club's culture for a long time. From Bobby Charlton to Brian Robson (the club's longest serving captain, 1982-1994), Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Wayne Rooney have all worn the armband.
Maguire's inheritance of the captain's armband after just six months with the team was met with a lot of criticism. However, Mourinho believed in Maguire's leadership, and he wore the captain's armband in the first seasons of Ralph Rangnick and Eric ten Haag after Mourinho was sacked.
However, he was eventually stripped of his captaincy. For one thing, his impact on the team diminished. Maguire has been reduced to a bench player since Ten Haag's arrival. With new signings Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane showing good form, Maguire's position was further reduced. Even if you include the time he missed with a hamstring injury in the middle of the season, he only made 16 league appearances. Only eight of those were starts.
Maguire expressed his disappointment on personal social media, writing, "After speaking to coach Ten Haag today, he told me that he will be changing the captaincy. He explained the reasons to me and I am personally disappointed, but I will give my best every time I put on the jersey."
"I would like to thank the United fans for their incredible support during my time in the captain's armband. It was a great privilege to lead the club three and a half years ago and one of my proudest moments. I will always be grateful to Mourinho for entrusting me with this responsibility and I wish whoever succeeds me my full support."
A new captain has yet to be named. The most likely candidate is Bruno. Bruno arrived at Old Trafford in the 2020 winter transfer window and immediately became a key part of the team's offense. In half a season, Bruno scored 12 goals and provided eight assists. He quickly became United's ace in the hole, leading the 토토사이트 team in goals and assists in 2020-21 with 28 goals and 21 assists. A perennial favorite, Bruno had 14 goals and 15 assists in all competitions last season.
Because of his performance and dedication to the team, Bruno wore the captain's armband in Maguire's absence from the 2020-21 season. Last season, he filled in for Maguire and wore the captain's armband for most games.
Ten Haag has praised Bruno's leadership qualities in the past. He told the Daily Mail in February: "The energy Bruno puts into his role as captain is exemplified on the pitch. He is very important to the team in our tactical approach and transition. He is a great example to the squad."
