I never called for Marcus or Mason to be named captain, if they were I’d tell them to feck off too, so that’s a really daft straw man you’ve built there.
I think Ronaldo’s tantrums are because he is, quite frankly, a prick. He was doing it in his first spell when he actually was the best player in the world (well, for one year until Messi surpassed him) and that was in a team competing for/winning European cups. It isn’t a new feature.
I don’t take much attention to random pr pieces tbh. If we want to talk about leading dressing rooms how about the (actual footage we can quantify) time Paul Pogba led the team talk in a World Cup final? Why not make him captain?

I wasn't stating Marcus or Mason should be named captain but their behaviour on the pitch is and has been much worse than Ronaldo's even before he arrived back at the club, there is a difference between Ronaldo's behaviour and the rest of our front line, except Cavani, I would believe he actually gives a damn and it's from winning desire or passion.
His performances haven't been matching his desire but I would expect him to start with himself and work outwardly than just blame everyone else like so many are keen to lay the blame on him.
You see a prick where I and many others see a passionate player upset with things not going our way. I would rather a tantrum from passion than sulking or a poor performance and a "we must do better" post every week.
I think Ole would have a better idea of Pogbas antics in the dressing room vs Ronaldo/Bruno when it comes to selecting a captain, I think I would trust Ole's own admission than a video of Frances Pogba who isn't to be confused with United Pogba.
Im not going to agree with half the fan base as it seems this is a massive split with whether or not we were regressing anyway or Ronaldo has had a negative impact on our progression after all these player performances got Ole sacked, Ronaldo or not that is inexcusable from every player.
If calling out these mommy coddled players has caused a negative atmosphere due to a serial winner telling you that you must do better, then I would rather them gone first than Ronaldo.
Imagine Rooney coming out and saying I don't like Keane because he called me crap because I played crap and he needs to leave, God forbid this is how far we've fallen now.
Like I said I would expect Ronaldo to have a word with himself over a poor performance before speaking to the rest. As many videos from Juve have shown he speaks about him and the team, collectively, they all must do better.

No-one but De-Gea (based on performance) should have a vote as captain, but I'm unsure if Dave is a big enough voice to lead.
Ronaldo has been shown to call himself and the team out collectively.
I think as a serial winner that is leadership quality, us as a team should do better, not you all should make me look better as many read it by.
If you don't like being called out for being crap, stop sulking, call your agent and leave, that goes for everyone.
You call arm waving being a prick, I call it passion, we can agree to disagree.
