Born a freak always a freak.
Pretty much this.Varane or Casemiro.

With Maguire (probably) on his way out and Bruno (probably) too much of a hysterical hot-head, who would be the best of the rest?
It has to be assumed we're talking about next season. Casemiro isn't going to get sent off twice for the rest of his career, but if you believe he might then he pf course has to be scrubbed off the short list. But with respect to those two straight reds, the first was farce and the second was more back luck than a demonstrate of any malicious intent whatsoever.Not sure having someone who barely speaks English and is going to miss about 15% of the season through suspension is a particularly great idea. Likewise Varane is a sick note.
Bruno is by far the best choice.
I don't think he was originally there but the people who are on an outrage crusade just struggle to read too much, so we had to give them an option, I guess.So the question is "if not Bruno, who is?" then have Fernandes as an option.
\He's so good, he could be picked twice.
In any team, regardless of who gets the arm band, there is always someone organising the defence, someone organising the attack. Maguire has obviously failed on the former, which I thought has been taken over by Varane, but we see Casemiro and martinez stepping up. You don't need an arm band to step up BTW. Bruno has been doing that on offence, eriksen is another one.I was at the recent Utd v Southampton game, first game I've been into in a while. It was obvious in that game who runs the team, it was Martinez certainly that day. He was the one organising the back line, telling people where they should be etc. I can understand ETH going with Bruno though, he has been here a while now, it's Martinez first season. Will he change it, not sure he will, we've a team now of leaders in players like Casemiro, Varane, Martinez, Bruno and Shaw. Not sure who actually has the arm band makes that much difference. Back in the day when Bruce was captain, any number of players could have been captain. If they all give their input as they do, I've no real issues with Bruno having it, plus he speaks well with the press when needed post game
Pretty sure our best captains from the days of Ferguson were prone to getting suspensions one way or another.Not sure having someone who barely speaks English and is going to miss about 15% of the season through suspension is a particularly great idea. Likewise Varane is a sick note.

confused, what is your point?In any team, regardless of who gets the arm band, there is always someone organising the defence, someone organising the attack.

As you mentioned able to deal with the press, is an important criteria for Captain of the team. IN fact, this applies to fans as well, I wonder how much the tide would have turn if Bale can speak fluent Spanish, and perhaps join the late supper instead of going to bed early for morning golf....
p.s. what about Rashford, an old timer? Is there a bias against local boys? Shaw, AWB, Sancho, are not there neither?
They generally spoke English too. Having a captain who can't speak to the referee is silly, let alone communicate with like half his teammates.Pretty sure our best captains from the days of Ferguson were prone to getting suspensions one way or another.
Shaw
Give it to someone in the crowd before De Gea.Bruno is the captain.
No need to look at anybody else.
If he is not playing, then I guess it falls on seniority and how regularly the player gets into the team. It should be DDG as he scores high in both areas.
Casemiro? Martinez?First name on the team sheet and the only obvious captaincy candidate. No idea why this fanbase fails to see how important he is to the team.
Pretty sure that anyone without an agenda would admit after yesterday that he is essential to our team. On the basis that he is never injured, is respected by his teammates and is as passionate about the team as any player in the squad he is an ideal choice for Captain. If Maguire had an ounce of self awareness he would step down today.First name on the team sheet and the only obvious captaincy candidate. No idea why this fanbase fails to see how important he is to the team.
