Rio Ferdinand has claimed that is was a mistake to make Harry Maguire Manchester United captain with the former Red Devil believing that David de Gea should have received the armband instead.
Maguire took over the captaincy from Ashley Young in January 2020, less than six months after his £80million move to United from Leicester.
But the England international has received widespread criticism throughout United's struggling campaign.
Some fans have called for Maguire to have the captaincy taken away from him at Old Trafford and reports emerged in October that an unnamed team-mate questioned questioned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's call to hand him the armband.
