Confirmed: Ralf Rangnick confirms Man United’s captain for remainder of season

 

Manchester United interim manager

 Ralf Rangnick has confirmed 

that defender Harry Maguire will

 remain the club’s captain until 

at least the end of the season.




Maguire was named as the Red Devils’ skipper

 during former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s

 reign.


However, following several poor performances

, both individually and as a collective, there 

have been recent reports  suggesting star 

striker Cristiano Ronaldo could take the 

armband off Maguire.


Weighing in on those rumours, Rangnick

, who spoke in a scheduled press conference 

 on Friday, said: “Well to start with, I must

 say that this is absolutely nonsense.


“I have never spoken with any player about

 a possible change of captaincy and 

Harry [Maguire] is fully aware of this and 

so is Cristiano [Ronaldo] and all the 

other players.


“This has never been an issue for me. 

It is me who decides who is the captain,

 therefore, there is no reason for me to 

speak about that with any other person.
