Harry Maguire: the new Captain of United. I think it’s a good decision. In a short period of time he’s shown himself to be a leader at the back, a vocal figure and sets a good example to others. Many may have wanted De Gea, but I don’t think Maguire is a bad choice at all. pic.twitter.com/61S6N6LizI

De gea can't command his line and people are telling me he can command the whole team, dfkm

David De Gea carries these clowns for 3 seasons in a row. Harry Maguire walks in, plays 20 games and gets the captain armband ahead of De Gea because slabhead.

About the Maguire captaincy: Although I would've wanted De Gea as our skipper, I just think he isn't vocal enough. And now I have realised that having trophies in your CV and longevity don't matter as long as you got the alpha mentality in you.

Brexit United won't let De Gea be captain.

Should’ve been De Gea or @juanmata8 imo. Regardless of whether Maguire is a good leader or not. He will continue to be a good leader even without the armband. It’s earned.

@ManUtd have disrespect De Gea big time....😔

Everyone calling for De Gea to. Be captain. Nah, no way. He's not a leader, he's too passive, played shit for a year too. Maguire is the only logical choice. He's out on the pitch, strong character and leader. Obvious choice to me.
