Ralf Rangnick's captain call highlights Harry Maguire feelings as he backs risky strategy

Ralf Rangnick has opted against backing Harry Maguire as the Manchester United captain, insisting the club's players should vote next season to see who they want as their skipper.

The German will leave his interim role in the summer with Erik ten Hag coming in to take over at Old Trafford. The current Ajax boss has a host of issues to address, one being who dons the armband going forward. Maguire was made captain early in his United career but has copped criticism throughout his leadership tenure.

His performance levels have dipped this term which has not helped his cause whilst the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, a captain at his previous clubs, has led to rumours of internal rumblings. Rangnick has kept Maguire as the skipper since taking charge but admitted the turnover of players may lead to a change in captain.
