1) With Maguire’s current form he should not be a starter and that already is enough grounds to lose the captaincy. Most of the fans at home and even in the stands do not believe in him.

2) The reports are that he is the one leaking team news to his journalist friends. It may or may not be true but at this point it appears many players believe it and he has lost their respect.

3) He rarely takes real responsibility for his mistakes and is always pointing fingers. Like recently when he caused one goal conceded and cancelled the other goal by being offside, yet post-match he was focusing one us not scoring more than one goal I.e he was trying to blame the attack in order to deflect the attention from his own mistakes.

In summary he is an off-form player with no sense of responsibility who has lost both the belief of the fans and the trust of the players, and who is an alleged snitch.

I wonder why people don’t want him to be captain.


1) There’s no problem with a Captain not starting. It’s not the first time it’ll happen. Btwn it’s even a temporary situation till he gets back to ‘form’. Isn’t he the same player last season that a lot of us were attributing our loss in the Europa final to his absence. There are more than one leaders in a team. If he’s benched, then the assistant will wear the band till Maguire finds his way back into the team.

2) Those reports are definitely fake rubbish reports. Henderson is the leak according to a lot of sources. The fake media has mentioned Rashford, Lingard and Maguire in recent days. And it’s obvious it’s because they’re English players.

3) That interview was a mistake and poor on his part. But as usual, people are picking on little things and blowing it out of proportion. Should he have taken part of the blame and apologized for his part? Definitely!


Any reports of him losing the confidence of the players is just concocted stories by the media.

When one of our players gets really out of form, it’s very difficult to find a way back and the reason is so obvious now. Probably one of the prices to pay for having such a popular fanbase. We could manage in the past without the existence of Social media and all the fan Vlogs.

Someone that Rashford told to Bleep off on the pitch. The body language of several players on the pitch shows they have little regard for him.

The fans don’t believe in him. If you still do then you are in the minority.

The only non-starting captains we have had were old and about to leave/retire emeritus captains like Robbo, Dolly, Neville, Carrick who were also very senior members of the squad NOT a player meant to be at his peak in his 20s. If he is not good enough to start he should relinquish his place in the starting lineup and also give up the arm band.

Giving a newcomer with no winning or big team experience the arm band was a huge mistake. Persevering with it in the face of his obvious failings as a leader is another one.

I am not saying taking away the arm band from him would be a panacea to all our problems but you claiming you don’t understand why people want him demoted is disingenuous to say the least.

He has won nothing. He has proven nothing. He has been a poor leader so far and has also lost form. If he can’t play he should give up the arm band. It is not a hereditary title.

An example of Salah reaping from the hard work of Mane
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 7:05am On Feb 19, 2022
And we don't know if it is the coach who has sacrificed Mane for Salah so that the ball can be carried forward from the deep effectively.

Ralph for instance seems to be currently making Bruno playing less to the goal area.

I doubt if Rashford, Greenwood, Ronaldo would try to pick out a team mate from this position. They would have shot

Man Utd captains in the EPL

Bryan Robson
Steve Bruce
Eric Cantona
Roy Keane
Gary Neville
Nemanja Vidic
Wayne Rooney
Michael Carrick
Antonio Valencia
Ashley Young
Harry Maguire.


An exercise in compare and contrast.
Rio Ferdinand was also captain at some point, but the Standard drop from Valencia in my opinion..

I don't think that guy knows the role and influence a captain has in a team, I mean de gea was captain and it was stripped from him and given to slabhead, I don't know why we can't do it again.

Rio was vice-captain deputising for G. Neville who was emeritus captain on the bench. When Neville finally retired Fergie gave it to Vidic on a permanent basis.

Let's just blame Olè. You stripped DDG because he honours a media interview and told them the truth. But Maguire that's been doing almost the same is still there.

You are right Doc. I don't think Ferdinand was truly happy Fergie made Vidic captain, but their partnership was to die for..

It was a counter, mane got played in, cut back to Origi who fluffed his shot, Salah scored....
Football is team work, a counter like this isn't representative of hard work because Salah has got more assists of this nature....

Don’t just read to respond.

Learn to read and understand before you respond.

When judging the quality two teams, it’s not about just replacing one quality player with another one in the other team. It’s a look at the general effect of all the quality players in one team vs the other one.

The team with the best squad depth has won the league the most in the last 6 seasons.

Don’t just misinterpret stuff and chuk mouth inside Wetin you no understand.


The team with the most league trophies in the last 6 seasons is the team with the best Coach not the squad depth,I will keep on hammering on this till you give up on this misappropriation. Man united, liverpool does not in any way have an inferior squad depth to man city, the fact that you are doing badly shouldn't make you play blind to the quality in your squad which is in no way less than that of your city rivals.
