EPL: Erik ten Hag told to name Kobbie Mainoo new Man United captain
Former Arsenal midfielder, Emmanuel Petit, has asked Erik ten Hag to name Kobbie Mainoo as the new captain of Manchester United.
Petit said that the young England international is the future of Manchester United.
The France international told Top Offshore Sportsbooks that Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho can be the leaders at Old Trafford.
The Frenchman asked that both youngsters be handed more responsibility at the club.
“I’m looking at the squad and I can’t see any leaders. United’s best players have been the likes of Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.
“It would be a bold move, but If I’m Ten Hag, maybe I would make a strong decision and appoint the future of the club (Mainoo) as my captain.
“Mainoo is young, but he’s English. He’s establishing himself in the national team. He’s the pride of the fans at Old Trafford.
“Maybe Erik ten Hag needs to make a statement to his underperforming players and fight that says I’m ready to fight with those who are ready to fight with me,” he said.
Bruno Fernandes is the current captain at Manchester United.
Erik ten Hag stripped Harry Maguire off the captaincy and handed it to the Portuguese.
