I would go for Becks as he is England captain, in reasonable form and likely to start every game while Roy is out. Giggs doesn't really inspire me at the moment and Rio is too new to the rest of the team (he captains the defence anyway).
Who do you want as skipper?
- Thread starter Red down under
- Start date
Do you mean while Keane is out?
I'd like Rio. But Keane is United's captain.

Rio's one for the future IMO..more natural leader than Becks
Giggs is the stand-in captain
I don't agree with Giggs as vice captain.He is not vocal enough and is not playing well in my opinion.Beckham as stand in for Keano.Rio about 3-5 years down the line may be captain.
Beckham! No doubt 
"Giggs is the stand-in captain"
was last season, but not in preseason. We will see what will happen tonight. I would give the armband either to giggs or becks; Rio would be a joke imo (very young and 2 months at the club) and won`t happen.

Philip Neville
Nah in all seriousness they should give it to Becks. Might be a bit of a kick in the arse to him to lift his game even more with the inspirational Roy Keane out.
Becks was captain pre season when Keano was out, so I think he will be captain tonight !

I hope it's Beckham too.
I think Giggs should get it because I feel he needs to add a bit more determination to his game. Beckham has been on a par with Keane so far this season. Not saying I don't feel Beckham deserves it, because he does, but I feel Giggs needs to add to his game and the cataincy might do it.
Becks while Roy's out. No doubt SAF has consulted keane on this during the last year. is prob why Becks seems vice-cptn this year. Becks IS a natural leader. there are more than one type of leader, and to have becks as cptn will probably be better for us for a while anyway, different syle and has Roy's blessing.
Beckham
When he is back in two weeks there is only one candidate in my book - Gary Neville.
Experienced, committed, vocal, well-respected and passionate about the shirt. To be honest, I'd have him as England captain as well.

This issue was raised when we signed Rio, for some reason, I forget what.
I went for Beckham then, and I'm sticking with that. Rio's a great leader, but Beckham's proven with England what the responsabilty of being captain can do to his game.

Beckham short term....Rio in time.
easily Beckham.
Blanc obviously!!!!!!
The one and only Roy Keane.
Dont expect it .. but i wonder what being captian do for nicky butt's confidence and level of play.
It has to be Becks. He been fantastic as England captain. The players repect him and unlike Giggs his work rate can never questioned.
Giggs is the Vice Captain, so logically he is going to be Captain in Keano's absence. However I would prefer Gaz Neville who is due back I believe in a couple of weeks. He would be much more competent than Becks or others.
Becks it is then.
