Cristiano to be made Manchester United captain

It seems as though Cristiano is not as unhappy about the current state of Manchester United as recent international reports have made out. Days before pre-season of the 'Ten Hag' era at United kicks off, 'The Daily Star' has reported that the manager is going to make a change in the captaincy at the club. The Portuguese is going to be given the armband.

This may help Ronaldo to truly establish himself as the leader at Old Trafford at a time when the club needs him the most. They have fallen from being in the same conversation as Europe's top clubs currently and so are relying on the ex Juventus man to drive the change of fortunes on the football pitch that Ten Hag is looking to direct.

At this moment in time, Harry Maguire is the captain of the English club. During the 2021/22 season, light was shone on dressing room disagreements between Maguire and Ronaldo which anticipated a restructuring of the squad hierarchy. With the new situation that the 'Daily Star' has reported on, it seems as though this is soon to be the case.

The English tabloid has also indicated that Cristiano has rejected Inter Miami's interest in signing him. David Beckham's project is an ambitious one, and he is looking to bring in players of the highest level. However, the Portuguese is focused on getting United back to the top and, for the moment at least, does not see himself in the United States.
