Harry Maguire is likely to leave and leave the role of captain to another star.

5. Raphael Varane

One of the stars in his position with the most experience is the French midfielder. Varane has participated in significant matches at the club and collegiate levels and has gained invaluable knowledge.

Any player would want to emulate Varane because he always sets the bar high. So when he is named Man Utd’s captain for the upcoming campaign, it won’t come as a sᴜrprise.

4. Lisandro Martinez

Even though “Licha” only joined Old Trafford during the summer transfer window last year, the Red Devils’ supporters quickly took to him thanks to his competitive nature and strong defensive abilities.

To assist in defending the net for the home squad, the 25-year-old is prepared to confront challenges. Additionally, Martinez’s display of fire and blood frequently stunned the spirits of the Man Utd players.

The World Cup winner has a wealth of leadership experience because to his extensive time spent working with Erik ten Hag. Therefore, it is not ruled out that the Red Devils’ captain will name him as the team’s new captain.

3. Marcus Rashford

Many clubs have allowed their highest scorer to wear the captain’s hat. With Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi consistently serving as captains, Portugal and Argentina have used this strategy the most over the past few years.

With 30 goals and consistent all-around excellence for the squad, Marcus Rashford has just finished off his best season. Man Utd may thus do the same for the English star.

2. Casemiro

There seems to be little debate if Erik ten Hag hands Casemiro the captain’s armband.

Similar to Varane, the Brazilian has won all the titles, but will probably be a more vocal leader.

Casemiro clearly shows leadership qualities, he is the player who helps Man Utd bounce back every time they concede a goal. If he can control his temper, the former Real Madrid star will surely become a perfect captain.

1. Bruno Fernandes

Since last season, whenever Harry Maguire has been injured or pushed to the bench, Ten Hag has let Bruno take on the role of captain.

The Portuguese held the position while playing for Sporting Lisbon and he continues to make an impact when entrusted with the task by Ten Hag.

Bruno always appeared in hot spots on the field, trying to defend or claim justice for his teammates. Some of the reactions from the 1994-born star may be a bit outrageous, but as the captain, he’s doing his job well.

With the effectiveness in both leadership and performance, Bruno is a leading candidate for the Man Utd captaincy in the new season.
