Patrice Evra urges Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim to reinstate Harry Maguire as captain, amidst Bruno Fernandes's struggles.
Manchester United legend Patrice Evra has urged manager Ruben Amorim to take the captain's armband from Bruno Fernandes as pressure continues to grow on the player. The Portugal midfielder was appointed skipper by Erik ten Hag in 2023, after the former manager stripped Harry Maguire of the role. While Fernandes is considered one of United’s best players, his leadership skills have come under heavy criticism.
Graeme Souness recently described the 30-year-old as a liability, after he received his third red card of the season in the Boxing Day defeat at Wolves. With United enduring one of the lowest points in their history, Amorim has admitted that his team are 'starving for leaders on the pitch'. Amorim stated this on Friday, after he revealed that he has given the green light for Maguire's contract to be extended. Replying to an Instagram post that shared the news of Maguire’s contract extension, Evra wrote: 'Give him the armband back!!!! 'After all he been through showing resilience and leadership.
