Bruno Fernandes is the new captain of Manchester United, Old Trafford club announced this Thursday on its official website. The 28-year-old Portuguese midfielder has taken over from Harry Maguire after a season in which he was the man with an armband, given the lack of an English centre-back on manager Erik ten Hag’s list of options.
“As captain, the two-time Sir Matt Busby award winner will continue to deliver the highest standards for United to ensure success in 2023/24 and beyond,” the English club said.
Remember that this scenario has already been promoted by the English press. On the 11th, The Sun reported that the Portuguese international midfielder was facing competition from Brazil’s Casemiro in the race for the armband. Apparently, Bruno Fernandes even got the better of his teammate.
