Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has stopped defender Harry Maguire of the captaincy amid reports for the Englishman to move to Westham United.
Ten hag is expected to announce a new captain in due course.
Maguire said that he was very saddened by being stripped of captaincy, but he was determined to continue to give the best to this team.
He said he did a lot for Manchester united to raise but he got shocked to be stripped off
leadership at the end. "I did everything that I could to help united win. I will always be grateful to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for giving me the opportunity and wish everyone the best."
Maguire was appointed a captain by Solskjaer in 2020 but has struggled in the recent seasons. Ten Hag decision to strip Maguire of captaincy is a sign that that the Dutchman wants a fresh start at Old Trafford.
Being stripped off captaincy could restore his form and help United challenge for the
trophies next season. He said he will always be grateful for the opportunity Ole Gunnar gave him for the signing of the three year.
