"Harry Maguire. I don't know why the captaincy got taken off him. Bruno Fernandes is not a leader. He's a great player but I look at Harry Maguire in the Chelsea game, he's at it and he's being physical, aggressive, he's speaking to his teammates. Fernandes has been an exceptional performer for Manchester United since joining the club. However, there is no doubt that Maguire is more of a leader in the dressing room."
"It seems unlikely that Manchester United will change their captain any time soon, and Fernandes is likely to continue with the armband. Meanwhile, Manchester United will be more focused on producing impressive performances in the coming weeks, and they will look to bounce back strongly. They have made a mediocre start to the season, and they need to get the campaign back on track."
Bruno Fernandes is described as a top-class player but not a leader; Harry Maguire displays stronger leadership qualities on and off the pitch. Maguire lost the captaincy in 2023 under Erik ten Hag yet continues to act as a vocal, physical presence during matches. Fernandes remains the current captain and is expected to keep the armband. Manchester United have started the season inconsistently, seek improved performances, aim for Champions League positions, and face pressure after significant summer spending. The club also aims to progress in domestic competitions and cannot afford another low league finish after last season's struggles.
