You won’t be captain again – Arsenal legend, Winterburn tells Man United star
Former Arsenal star, Nigel Winterburn has told Harry Maguire that he will be stripped of the Manchester United captaincy at the end of the current season.
The England international has lost his place in Manchester United’s starting lineup to the likes of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez Maguire under manager Erik ten Hag.
He recently returned to the first eleven because of injuries to Martinez and Varane; he also captained them.
But in his absence, Bruno Fernandes has been handed the armband and Winterburn believes Ten Hag will change the team’s leader.
“It’s unlikely that Harry Maguire will be Manchester United’s club captain next year,” he told Paddy Power.
“He certainly won’t be club captain. My gut feeling is that he’ll move on from Manchester United if he doesn’t get the reassurances that he’ll be after,” he added
