Harry Maguire Loses Manchester United Vice-Captaincy to Lisandro Martínez
In a recent match against Newcastle United, Lisandro Martínez captained Manchester United in Bruno Fernandes' absence, indicating a shift in the club's leadership hierarchy.
During Manchester United's recent Premier League fixture against Newcastle United at Old Trafford, Argentine defender Lisandro Martínez donned the captain's armband in the absence of suspended captain Bruno Fernandes. This development suggests a reorganization within the club's leadership structure, with Martínez now serving as vice-captain, a role previously held by Harry Maguire.
Maguire, who was appointed club captain in January 2020 by then-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær, had his captaincy reassigned to Bruno Fernandes in the 2023/2024 season under manager Erik ten Hag. Despite this change, Maguire retained the vice-captaincy. However, the recent decision to have Martínez lead the team in Fernandes' absence indicates a further shift, with Maguire no longer occupying the vice-captain position.
This adjustment reflects the evolving dynamics within Manchester United's squad, as the coaching staff continues to make strategic decisions regarding team leadership and on-field responsibilities.
