Danny Murphy believes Marcus Rashford would thrive in the role of Manchester United captain next season - but only if the forward signs a new contract and secures his future.
United's armband will likely be up for grabs heading into next season, with current club captain Harry Maguire at the fringes of the first-team picture and a potential departure in the summer. The 29-year-old has held the role since January 2020, but the arrival of Lisandro Martinez last summer has seen his minutes reduced drastically and he is among a number of players Erik ten Hag could offload.
In his absence this season, Bruno Fernandes has held the armband but the Portuguese midfielder came in for some criticism during the 7-0 defeat at Liverpool for a lack of leadership - albeit he bounced back with a brilliant performance against Real Betis on Thursday.
