Erik ten Hag is reportedly considering stripping Harry Maguire of the Red Devils’ leadership.
The 29-year-old has been under fire for his efforts thus far in the 2021-22 season, but Ralf Rangnick has stated that he would retain the armband for the rest of the season.
Man United, on the other hand, are rumored to be interested in signing a new center-back during the forthcoming transfer window, with Ten Hag shaping the team according to his own vision.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Maguire is in serious danger of being stripped of the armband by Ten Hag, although no new captaincy candidates have been announced.
Maguire has appeared in 34 matches across all competitions this season, scoring two goals but also coming under fire for some sloppy defensive displays.
United are believed to have earmarked Chelsea center-back Antonio Rudiger as an ideal transfer target but are pessimistic about their prospects of securing the prospective free agent.
