Tyrone Mings says it will be an honour to play under new Aston Villa captain John McGinn.
England defender Mings was stripped of the captaincy by Steven Gerrard on Wednesday.
But the 29-year-old insists there are no hard feelings about the decision.
Mings tweeted shortly after the announcement: "For me this isn't about John or I, it's about what's right for Aston Villa. I have no issues with the managers decision; I've loved leading this team.
"Anyone who knows @jmcginn7 knows how infectious he is and it will be an honour to play underneath his captaincy."
