Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnic k has explained that incoming manager Erik ten Hag may well opt to decide the club's captain by asking the club's players to vote the best candidate.
That has left Harry Maguire, who is currently in possession of the armband at Old Trafford, vulnerable to being deposed by his United team-mates in an election for the position.
Rangnick explained: "I strongly believe that the captain should be elected by the team because he’s called the team manager, and we always did that. In Germany we always had a board of four or five players, we called it the ‘spielkapitan’, elected by the players, the player with the highest amount of votes was the team captain at the end."
