Erik ten Hag is yet to address the situation but it is becoming increasingly apparent that Harry Maguire's days as Manchester United captain are numbered.
The central defender held off competition from Cristiano Ronaldo to keep the armband last season, despite many in the squad questioning his place within the team. Ten Hag has since transitioned Maguire out of the starting picture, with Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof and even Luke Shaw ahead of him in the pecking order.
However, the United boss opted to keep the England centre-back as club captain, possibly in a bid to not rock the boat too hard during his formative days in charge. When it comes to matches, Bruno Fernandes is the man most often named United skipper, with the Portuguese essentially taking on the captaincy without an official appointment.
