Erik ten Hag has been told he’s made a “mistake” in allowing Harry Maguire to stay on as Manchester United captain.
The role was hotly debated among fans after the England international’s tough season, with some forecasting Ten Hag to strip him of the role. But in a press conference on Monday ahead of United’s friendly with Liverpool today, the new boss confirmed Maguire would be retaining the armband.
"Harry Maguire is the captain,” he said. “I have to get to know all the players, but he's an established captain and he's achieved a lot of success. I don't see this as an issue."
