Gary Neville: Ferguson asked me to captain because I was worried about discord within the team

According to the "Sun" newspaper, Gary Neville revealed that Ferguson insisted on keeping himself as the captain in order to avoid C Ronaldo and Rooney arguing.

Neville said: "I was injured a year after becoming captain and I don't think I've fulfilled my duty as a captain. I went to see Sir Alex Ferguson before the season started, and we had a lot of great players at the time and I said I didn't deserve to be captain. ”

"He said, 'You keep the armband on for me, and you and Giggs take turns as captains.' If I let Ronaldo be captain, Then Rooney would be unhappy; if I let Vidic be captain, Ferdinand would be unhappy. ’”

'It's for peace in the dressing room, we have to maintain order in the team and make sure everyone is united, but I don't think I deserve it myself."

"It was November 2005 and Roy Keane had left the team unexpectedly, and it had been him captain for the previous decade, and it was a huge shock and I couldn't be a special person like him, both in terms of personality and influence."

"I think Ferguson put me ahead of Giggs because Giggs didn't have the same steady attendance as I did, and in the five or six years I've been captain, I've taken on that responsibility with Giggs and Scholes, working together to ensure the stability of the dressing room."
