Harry Maguire tweeted Sunday that he was no longer captain of United following talks with manager Erik ten Hag. The central defender made just eight league starts last season, leading to ongoing speculation over his future at Old Trafford.
In Maguire’s absence from the side last season, Fernandes was most frequently appointed captain and had been widely expected to be given the permanent role.
