Deserved reward: De Gea to be Manchester United's new skipper

David de Gea's season has been one to remember. In a season in which Manchester United have shown a low level, qualifying with serious difficulties for the Europa League, the Spanish goalkeeper has shone with his own light.

So much so that he has gained more weight than he already had in the dressing room. He has now spent eleven seasons defending the Old Trafford nets, he has a contract until 2023 and it looks like there will be many more.

Now, in addition, he will assume the captaincy. This is what the 'Daily Mirror' indicated, revealing an idea that has the support of the vast majority of the Red Devil squad.

Harry Maguire's bad year has caused him to lose the confidence of his teammates, who no longer see in him the reference that commanded the team from the back.
