Manchester United has announced Bruno Fernandes as their new club captain, as revealed in an official blog post on Thursday.
In the recent decision, 28-year-old Fernandes will take over the captaincy from Harry Maguire, who was recently removed from the position by manager Erik ten Hag.
The Portuguese midfielder has already worn the armband for United on numerous occasions and Erik ten Hag has confirmed that he will now lead the team on a permanent basis.
Fernandes has scored 64 goals and contributed 54 assists in just 185 games for the club since joining in 2020.
“As captain, the two-time Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year will continue to drive the highest standards throughout the squad as United push for success in the 2023/24 season and beyond,” the post reads.
