“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?

No one is captain worthy in the team if I’m being honest.
Wasn’t able to watch the match today. Are these comments about something that happened today, or just generalløytnant about Fernandes’ behaviour?
It is so funny since everyone apart from United Fans already knew that.
It’s bonkers that anybody would defend Bruno’s behaviour. I’d be beyond embarrassed if he was my club’s captain, no doubt about it.
He’s been their only decently consistent player through shit seasons so they will defend him to a delusional amount
Bruno is the best United player so I get it. Hes a big baby so I get that too. But who else sew you giving it to honestly. The other players haven’t been there long. And non who have been there long are good choices. Bruno is the best of a bad bunch of choices imo.
Said to my United mates for 2 years and got slewed for it
Told ya - he might be even worse of a fit now he’s full time skipper, he’s not really a midfielder either, he checks out defensively
I’m so glad he’s at United
Every fanbase in the league that isn’t of a United persuasion audibly laughed out loud when Fernandes was announced as club captain. He’s a talented footballer but he is the biggest whiner in all of Europe, has zero ability to persevere in the face of adversity as evidenced by him quitting on the pitch (on multiple occasions) when United are down big, and goes to ground like he’s been shot at the slightest bit of opposition contact. Rashford or Varane would be a far better choice for captain of Manchester United.
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
Yep agree
Casemiro has the most experience. So obvious choice.
If he’s playing Rashford every week, then why not give him the armband or Luke Shaw (when he’s not injured)?
Rat face is not fit to be a captain of any club, he was lucky not to be sent off, fouling moaning diving, what a rat
Whether Keane was the greatest captain or not, he has some weird opinions on football. However it obvious Bruno is not a suitable captain.
Another criteria of being the captain under Sir Alex was that he has to be ever-present (almost). Bruno fit that criteria, but nothing else.
100%
He is too petulant to be a captain and when things head south, which they do often nowadays at United, he seems to get worse. Your team needs leadership and there you are being a 14-year old throwing a tantrum in the ref’s face and then sulking. Keane was mouthy as well, but he did note negativity creep in to his game and he sure as shit wasn’t going to stop trying.
One of the biggest issues at Old Trafford is the lack of leadership. Too many players that hang their heads or start acting up when things get tough.
Was brilliant when he tried to crunch stones yesterday and injured himself hahaha
