Paul Scholes gives his verdict on the decision to make Bruno Fernandes captain

Paul Scholes knows that his has not been the start that Manchester United were expecting to have in the Premier League, and now the legendary midfielder has some pointers for the red devils.

First of all, Paul Scholes believes that right now Manchester United has three big leaders on the team, that are going to be Bruno Fernandes, Raphael Varane and Casemiro, which are players that have a lot of experience, the Portuguese has an incredible record of never missing a red devils game with an injury, and the others have a lot of experience from their time at Real Madrid.

“I know when Harry lost his captaincy, people were talking about Marcus being [the next one] - I never saw that. Look, I don’t know him in the dressing room but he wouldn’t be someone who strikes me as being a captain." where the words of Paul Scholes when asked if he does not believe that Rashford should have been given the chance to be the captain after his time with the club.

“Whereas Bruno has done it, hasn’t he? I think now for the first time, there’s quite a few leaders in the team. You think of the experience they’ve got, with the manager they’ve brought in. [Raphael] Varane, a World Cup winner, Real Madrid. Casemiro… He’s done a fantastic job when he has been captain and he looks a leader, he’s the one that’s always having a go, always trying to rally his team. I think it’s a great choice.” confirmed Paul Scholes.

“All of a sudden there are three or four players in that team who are capable of being captain, and I think Bruno Fernandes is probably the right choice because he seems to be the one they all look up to."
