“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?
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.
