Ralf Rangnick has admitted he can give Harry Maguire no guarantees about carrying on as Manchester United captain beyond the end of the season.
The interim United boss has dismissed claims that Maguire is involved in a dressing room power struggle for the skipper’s armband with Cristiano Ronaldo.
But Rangnick will move upstairs in an advisory capacity in the summer - and United’s next boss will then have a decision to make on whether £80million Maguire is the natural leader the Reds need going forward.
