Ferdinand: Maguire was prematurely awarded the captain's armband, and De Gea was the more suitable candidate

Live Bar January 1, 2019 Maguire transferred from Leicester City to manchester United in August 2019, and only 6 months later he became the captain of the Red Devils, for this appointment, Ferdinand in an interview to talk about his views.

Asked if Maguire wasn't captain, if he wasn't in the right form he couldn't even get into the team's starting lineup, Ferdinand said: "It should be like this, in fact wearing the captain's armband did give him this preferential treatment, I think it's a bit premature to appoint him as captain." ”

"It's hard enough to play for Manchester United without having to take on the pressure of captainship and do your job down-to-earth. To become a captain you need to have a great sense of responsibility and you have more pressure on your shoulders. ”

'You can only withstand that pressure if you're here for a while, and it's more important for Maguire to come to Manchester United and be a mainstay of the squad than to be captain.

"Everyone is criticizing Mamaguire for not being a captain, but what you can argue is that the team doesn't have a lot of captains, who can still take on this responsibility?"

"If that's the case, I would choose De Gea because he's been here for a long time and he knows how to win the game. Of course, these are all hindsight, but you need to consider that such moments can happen to other players like Maguire, who have not been in the team for a long time, and such pressure is on them. ”
