Bruno Fernandes named Captain of Man Utd ahead of PSG clash as Harry Maguire ruled out

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have named his captain ahead of their UEFA Champions League opening group game.

It's been gathered that Bruno Fernandes will wear the captain armband as he will lead Red Devils out of the dug out against Paris Saint-Germain. 

This comes after Harry Maguire has been ruled out. 

Maguire overcame a slight injury to play and score in the 4-1 win over Newcastle United on Saturday night, but he has now been ruled out of the trip to France.

During a press conference in Paris on Monday, Solskjaer confirmed Fernandes will captain United in Maguire's absence.

“We hope Harry will be fit for the weekend [for the Chelsea game] but we’re not sure,” Solskjaer told reporters in Paris. “The captain is sitting next to me. Bruno will captain the team tomorrow [Tuesday].”

“I was not expecting this,” Bruno admitted. “I know the same time as you. Of course, for me, it’s an honour I will be captain for my team-mates and being captain of Manchester United is important for me.

“I think the captain is everybody and everyone needs to help; everyone needs to be a leader. The leadership is different in every player. Tomorrow will not be about me, it’s about the team. Leading the team is every day in the training ground, every training, every game, and I think everyone is doing their own job to lead the team in the way they think is the best.”
