Man Utd midfielder Fernandes comes forward for captaincy

England defender Harry Maguire is set to be stripped of the Manchester United captaincy this summer.

Per The Sun, Maguire may well leave United in the transfer window, but is also eager to fight for his place.

However, his future is not relevant to the captaincy, which the paper reveals will not be his next term.

Midfielder Bruno Fernandes is the main candidate to take over the permanent armband.

Fernandes has been skipper on the field for United when Maguire has not started games.

The 30-year-old is being linked to a move to another Premier League side in West Ham United.
