New Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has refused to restore Tyrone Mings as captain, despite Steven Gerrard's decision to strip him of the armband being seen as one of his biggest mistakes.
Gerrard opted to take the captaincy off the defender and give it to John McGinn over the summer. But the decision proved to be disastrous, with McGinn enduring a downturn in form and Villa also struggling for wins.
Villa's poor start to the campaign ultimately saw Gerrard sacked as manager, with Emery coming in from Villarreal to replace him. The Spaniard will take charge of his first game this weekend when Villa face Manchester United.
