Maguire is our captain and I don’t see any reason to change that: Ralf Rangnick

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick said he doesn’t expect to strip Harry Maguire of the captaincy following his unfortunate form.

Maguire has been to blame for goals surrendered on a few times this season, most as of late in their draws with Burnley and Southampton in the English Premier League.

“I think when he came back after his injury he did extremely well,” Rangnick told reporters.

“In the past two games, yes he had some weaker moments, against Southampton and when we conceded the goal at Burnley, but he’s our captain and I don’t see any reason to change that. He’s a player who has to develop, get better, like all the other players.”

Maguire has shown up in all rivalries for United and was named club captain in January 2020 by previous manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

“The way that we are playing now is new also to him because in the English national team he was used to playing in a back three and here at Manchester United, in most cases a back four,” Rangnick added.

Manchester United are fifth in the points table with 40 points after 24 matches.
