Alphonso Davies cannot believe Harry Maguire is Manchester United captain over Cristiano Ronaldo

Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies has given an emphatic verdict on Harry Maguire’s captaincy at Manchester United, and insisted Cristiano Ronaldo should instead have the armband.

There have been questions over Maguire’s role as United captain throughout the season. The England international has endured a poor campaign at the heart of the Reds’ defence, leading to calls from supporters for him to be stripped of the armband.

His cause has not been helped by the return of Ronaldo to Old Trafford last summer, prompting some to call for the 37-year-old to be given the captaincy instead. Rumours of the pair not seeing eye-to-eye have followed them throughout the season, although both players have denied reports of discontent in the dressing room.
