“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 should inspire, and should lead by example when the going gets tough. It may sound sentimental, but I also think a captain should be a model prof, because he is the face of the club.
Bruno only inspires when things are going well and he gets to play football. In bad games he is not positively jumping out because of his work rate or effort. He whines and cries and bothers the referee like a school child throwing a tantrum. And with his behaviour (diving, bothering officials) he is not exactly being the poster boy for good sportsmanship either.
He is the best player, sure. But I do not find him a leader.
