Ahead of Manchester United’s crucial Premier League tie against Chelsea on Thursday, the German manager was asked about the captaincy situation at the club, to which he replied “I strongly believe the captain should be elected by the team because he’s called the team manager and we always did that, we always had a board of four or five players.

“The player with the highest amount of votes was the team captain at the end. That was how I did it. I know a lot of head coaches don’t do it that way. That’s what I would do if I was still the manager next season but in the end I’m not. This is something that Erik will have to decide,” Rangnick further added, claiming that he will allow incoming manager Erik ten Hag to take the call on this issue.
Meanwhile, Maguire has sustained a knee injury and will not be available for selection in the last four games of the ongoing season. In his absence, either Cristiano Ronaldo or Bruno Fernandes will lead the side.
