“I don’t see why either of them aren’t already” – Erik ten Hag told these two Manchester United players should be captain
Manchester United legend Tomasz Kuszczak has told Erik ten Hag that David De Gea or Cristiano Ronaldo should be the club’s captain.
Harry Maguire is currently Manchester United captain but many believe the England international shouldn’t be Manchester United captain.
Kuszczak told Manchester Evening News: “Usually, the club captain is someone who has a lot of if not the most experience within the team.
“There are so many good names who could be captain: Ronaldo, De Gea, I don’t see why either of them aren’t already.”
Kuszczak also believes De Gea and Dean Henderson are the only Manchester United players whose positions are ‘safe’ under Erik ten Hag’s rebuild at the club.
“Obviously, I expect a lot of changes,” Kuszczak said.
“I want to see my beloved team playing at the right level and not conceding nine goals against Liverpool in one season and two games.
“It’s shocking and every position is under question, apart from the goalkeeper. David and Dean are very strong. Those are the only two who are safe.
“The rest, each position you look at there’s always questions. [Cristiano] Ronaldo is doing very well but he’s getting on now and can’t be given so much responsibility at the age of 37.
“But in summary every part of the team needs to be changed!”
