Rangnick Confirms Who Will Be Manchester United’s Captain Next Season As Players Set To Vote

Speaking about whether Harry Maguire will remain as the captain of Man United next season, Ralf Rangnick said: “I can only tell you what I have done in the past when I was head coach or manager because in Germany it’s called ‘Mannschaftskapitan’ – the captain of the team.

“I strongly believe the captain should be elected by the team because he’s called the team manager and we always did that. We always had a board of four or five players – we called it the Spielerrat [players’ council] – elected by the players.

“The player with the highest amount of votes was the team captain at the end. That was how I did it. I know a lot of head coaches don’t do it that way. That’s what I would do if I was still the manager next season but in the end, I’m not. This is something that Erik will have to decide.”
