Manchester United Football Club
The leader of the team, Magouni, has encountered widespread skepticism over his leadership and performance this season, with many fans even feeling that Crowe is more suited to the role. Coach Ranilic recently made public comments suggesting that the captain should be elected by the players next season, which seems to indicate that his patience with the England center back is wearing thin.
Ranlik mentioned that the practice of players jointly electing the captain originated in Germany and is currently being used by Manchester City's boss Gordiona and Arsenal's Adi Da. When asked if he would recommend Magouni to continue as captain in front of the new manager Tanhag, Ranlik did not give a clear answer: I understand your question, but this question does not make much sense because we do not yet know what kind of players we will have next season, but in the past, my practice was to pick four to five core players, and then the one who got the most votes would be the captain.
Magouni has been occupying a starting spot at Manchester United after making a high-priced move from Leicester City in 2019. However, the 29-year-old center-back has made frequent errors at the back, leading to the team's scoring streak in the league this season, with hopes of contending for a top-four finish becoming slim. United are set to face Chelsea late on Thursday night, but Magouni has been revealed to have suffered a knee injury ahead of the match and will definitely miss the game and could even end his season early. The last game against Liverpool may have been Magouni's last appearance as United's captain.
