if dave isn't made captain next season, i don't know what the fuck is wrong with the club. he's literally the only player with the balls to face the media after every humiliating loss this season and has done everything that was supposed to be done of the captain and then some more. | ||

Giroud adds Serie A to his French title and World Cup, Kessie bows out with a title too. rafael leao had a monster of a season, so he deserves a big shout out as well. Hell, just by looking at last fixture's goals and he was in every one of them. | ||

Either that or you give it Ronaldo right with maybe De Gea vice captain to take over when he leaves? | ||

Ronaldo would be a shocking choice for captain, too petulant. De Gea has held himself well for years, performed excellently, seems a sensible choice. At a club already operating at the absolute elite standard Ronaldo’s high standards and moaning might work, United aren’t at that standard. United aren’t there yet, and I mean transplant it to any normal workplace. Do you want a coworker who throws up his hands in frustration if you don’t do exactly what they want, to the standard they want? I’d say absolutely not, great player, indisputable. The one you want to be the leader of your team? I don’t think so, not with this United anyway. | ||

Not that I have any better suggestions though, United just doesn't feel like they have an obvious pick in their roster. | ||

The English game seems to be the only one where it’s viewed as a big deal at all. Elsewhere it can go to the most senior player by default, or Bielsa has the players elect his captains as he sees the role as being the intermediary between him and the squad. The English conception of the captain, be it your John Terry/Roy Keane vocalists, or the inspirational ‘Roy of the Rovers’ captain Marvel like a Steven Gerrard or Bryan Robson seems a bit out of step with the modern game. You need leaders all over the pitch, but more importantly you need a plan, and you need players to collectively know how to execute that plan, and to coordinate properly on the pitch. United are so lacking in those areas that no amount of inspirational captaincy is going to make a huge difference. | ||

Not that I have any better suggestions though, United just doesn't feel like they have an obvious pick in their roster. i think that has been his criticisms in the past, but like wombat just said, the roy keane kind of captain that screams at his teammates seems to be a thing of the past now. besides, whilst de gea may have been quiet throughout the majority of his united career, he definitely didnt seem to have problems screaming at maguire this season. maybe hes gotten more vocal with age? | ||

ManUtd's problem doesnt lie just with captaincy but with having no personalities apart from Ronaldo who would be willing to man up | ||

The Premier League board has approved the proposed takeover of Chelsea by the Todd Boehly/Clearlake Consortium. A statement from the Premier League on Tuesday confirmed their approval of the takeover with the consortium passing its Owners’ and Directors’ Test. The takeover has not been completed, however, as the purchase remains subject to the Government issuing the required sale licence. The statement from the Premier League on Tuesday evening read: “The Premier League Board has today approved the proposed takeover of Chelsea Football Club by the Todd Boehly/Clearlake Consortium. “The purchase remains subject to the Government issuing the required sale licence and the satisfactory completion of the final stages of the transaction.” Having been chosen as the preferred bidder last month, Chelsea confirmed Boehly’s group had reached an agreement to buy the club from Roman Abramovich for £4.25 billion on May 6. Chelsea previously stated the Boehly group will pay £2.5 billion for shares in the club, with proceeds going to a frozen bank account to be donated to charity. Source | ||

Any former teammate could earn millions writing a book how Ronaldo acts like a petulant child, yet no one has ever done so. And dont be "footballers arent like that" because there are tons of instances where former teammates have spoken ill about another if if it was deserved | ||
