“He’s the opposite of what I would want in a captain”
Obviously Manchester United fans recognize Roy Keane as a legend and a former captain from 97’ to 05’ and many believe him to be the best captain in premier league history so his opinion holds a lot of merit. My question is, do you all agree with this statement? If yes, which current Manchester United player would be a more suitable option for the captaincy role?
I think a Captain isn’t just what happens on the pitch
He’s also the example and that individual of the pitch
Though I can’t stand John Terry you could tell he was the epitome of the club, same with Keane, Gerrard and Vieira.
To be Devil’s Advocate I can’t think of one current Captain who embodies that for me. There’s good club captains presently but none who you look at and think ‘at that club there’s no one else I could think of who could be Captain’
But Fernandes doesn’t strike me as a guy who galvanises this team, I can’t believe that if United played Newcastle on a wet freezing night and he slipped on a short sleeved top the rest of the team would follow suit.
I hope they keep him as captain for a long time
