Harry Maguire stripped of Man Utd captaincy: Nigel Winterburn

Date:

Nigel Winterburn has predicted that Harry Maguire will be stripped of the Manchester United captaincy in the summer, with Bruno Fernandes likely to replace him. Maguire has fallen down the pecking order since the arrival of manager Erik ten Hag and is now used a a back-up to Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane. However, injuries to Martinez and Varane have seen Maguire, who still captains the club, thrown back into a more prominent role. Winterburn believes Ten Hag will pick a new United captain for next season, with Maguire potentially looking to move away from the club if he does not get enough game time. Former Manchester City captain Richard Dunne has urged Maguire to ‘learn his limitations’ and leave United, with the defender linked with Paris Saint-Germain and having turned down a loan to Inter Milan in January.
