Bruno Fernandes Named New Captain of Manchester United for 2023/24 Season

Manchester United’s midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, is set to lead the Red Devils as their new captain in the upcoming 2023/24 season, taking over the armband from former skipper Harry Maguire. The official announcement came after a conversation between Maguire and Erik ten Hag, confirming the change in leadership.

Fernandes, who has already captained the team on several occasions, has been recognized for his exceptional contributions both on and off the field. With an impressive record of 64 goals and 54 assists in just 185 games since joining the club in 2020, his leadership qualities have been acknowledged by the management and coaching staff.

As a two-time Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year, Fernandes will continue to drive the squad towards excellence, aiming for success not only in the upcoming season but also in the future. His ability to take responsibility and make a significant impact in every game has earned him praise from Erik ten Hag, who referred to him as captain in post-match interviews during the previous term.

With Bruno Fernandes at the helm, Manchester United is gearing up for an exciting and promising journey in their pursuit of glory in the football world.
