Harry Maguire has been stripped of the Manchester United captaincy, and is reportedly 'angry, shocked and upset' about the decision. This has prompted the defender to consider leaving the club this summer, with Chelsea, West Ham, Tottenham and Newcastle United all said to be interested.
Maguire released a statement in response to the news, expressing his disappointment but also thanking the Manchester United fans for their support. He also paid tribute to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who first gave him the captaincy role, and said he would offer his full support to whoever replaces him.
It is thought that the armband is likely to be handed to Bruno Fernandes, who captained the team on many occasions in Maguire's absence last season.
The news comes as Manchester United have set an asking price for West Ham to sign Maguire, while they can also sign Germany star for just £34m to replace Fred and McTominay. Erik ten Hag is also said to be willing to sell a Manchester United academy star to complete an overhaul.
