Who is Man Utd's vice-captain?
[BBC] The vice-captain role at Manchester United has been the subject of several questions sent in via our ' Ask about Man Utd ' form recently. This is a fascinating one, partly because Bruno Fernandes misses so few games, and rarely gets substituted. When he was out for three matches after getting injured at Aston Villa last December, Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez got the job – but there has clearly been a change of manager since then. Harry Maguire was given the armband for the brief amount of time Fernandes was off the field when he was replaced by Leny Yoro in stoppage time during the 3-2 win over Liverpool in May. Appointing Maguire as vice-captain would be particularly significant given Erik ten Hag took the job off him to give it to Fernandes. And the mere fact he took the armband against Liverpool was also notable because he had turned down the opportunity on other occasions. Of the remainder of the squad, Matthijs de Ligt was captain of Ajax as a teenager, the club's youngest ever skipper, and Diogo Dalot took the armband when Fernandes went off at Villa Park. Michael Carrick has not made his opinions known on the matter – but with Martinez and Dalot missing due to World Cup duties, as is Fernandes, and De Ligt currently sidelined through injury, Maguire seems the obvious choice as captain for the first few pre-season games.
