Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Friday announced England international, Harry Maguire as the new captain of the club following the exit of Ashley Young.
Football fans around the world have taken to Twitter to express their diverse opinion.
Some threw their weight behind the Norwegian trainer, others faulted his decision and opted for long-term servant of the club, David De Gea.
The decision to name a new captain was made following Ashley Young’s imminent transfer to Inter Milan.
See reactions below:
This interview is why De Gea got stripped of the captaincy. He had it taken away for honesty instead of the false positivity that Ole wants everyone to have. https://t.co/hKGHaZOLMJ

Many will say this is why De Gea hasn’t been made captain
Don’t believe this is the reason if anything this just shows how much De Gea cares and wants the best for Unitedpic.twitter.com/H9Of3oAorF

De Gea couldn’t handle being Captain. I don’t like goalies being captain. Especially quiet and reserved ones like De Gea. Drop your dumb agenda against Maguire and support the new captain.

It’s a total disrespect & disgrace to the Manchester United fraternity on Ole giving the captain’s arm-band to Harry Maguire than that of De Gea, what criteria did Ole based on to choose ?
So so highly dissappoint
