Why Ten Hag removed Maguire as Man Utd captain – Varane reveals

Manchester United’s new manager, Erik ten Hag, is proving he is not afraid to make significant decisions, as revealed by defender Raphael Varane. The Dutch tactician recently made a bold move by removing Harry Maguire as the team’s captain, replacing him with Bruno Fernandes ahead of the upcoming season.

Maguire had held the captaincy since his transfer from Leicester City in 2019. However, after facing challenges and losing his starting position last season, Ten Hag decided it was time for a change.

Ten Hag’s decision to hand the armband to Fernandes is just the latest in a series of bold moves. Last season, he didn’t hesitate to drop star players Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford for disciplinary reasons.

Varane praised Ten Hag’s leadership style, stating that the manager wants a team with character and is not afraid to lead by example. The French defender emphasized that Ten Hag knows exactly what he wants and has shown determination from the first day he joined the club.

The new manager’s clear vision and communication have resonated well with the players, and there is a strong connection between them and Ten Hag, according to Varane. As Manchester United prepares for the new season, the team is eager to follow their manager’s lead and achieve success under his guidance.
