Schmeichel is a memorable one as it was always going to be him or Keane post Cantona. Keane was obviously the right choice, and Schmeichel at least wore the armband in his final game, lifting the CL.
Evra would have been a good captain.

Not saying he should have been captain over Lahm and Neuer, but Muller seems like a great leader who could be a great captain.

Good shout. But on the other hand it feels a bit like he matured into that personality who could really be a great leader too late in his career, when his starting spot wasn't safe anymore. But I fully expect him to become a very good manager very soon after retiring.Thomas Müller

I really like Müller but he never really struck me as the type of character that would make a great coach. Can't put my finger on it but he's not serious enough and I can't see him obsessing over tactical details either since he's too laid back and pragmatic to be a football nerd. I could see him becoming a great assistant coach, though. But to be honest, a director of sports role or a punditry would be better fits. I mean, if there has ever been a player who has all the makings of a great pundit, it is Müller.

Perhaps he was never the club captain but wore the armband plenty of times. When Vida got a long-term injury Evra was the captain for the rest of the 2011/12 season, if I remember correctly.

Evra was captain for plenty of games. Im fairly sure he was first to lift one of the trophies (Carling Cup maybe?) And he handed the trophy to Fergie at Swansea with Vidic as well if I remember rightly.
