In his search for a new Manchester United captain, former Premier League striker Frank McAvennie doesn’t think Cristiano Ronaldo is the right fit to replace Harry Maguire.
Ronaldo no longer suitable? Former West Ham striker Frank McAvennie doesn’t see Cristiano Ronaldo (36) as an ideal choice for captaincy at Manchester United, as he says on “Football Insider”. The main problem is that Ronaldo is believed to only play one more year in Manchester and the solution in this respect would only be a short-term one.
Short, compact, clear
ManUnited is probably looking for a new captain: This is another reason why McAvennie sees Bruno Fernandes as the better choice: “He would be ideal.” It is assumed that Harry Maguire (29) will have to give up the captaincy after a disappointing season in sport.
Coach should make choice: McAvennie advises the new United coach Erik ten Haag to have authority in the management of the team: “There are many players there who may leave the club. So why should they be allowed to choose a captain? The coach has to decide that.”
