Former Manchester United midfielder, Paul Ince, has slammed interim manager, Ralf Rangnick, for choosing Cristiano Ronaldo to captain the team against Wolves on Monday.

Ronaldo led the players out at Old Trafford, as regular skipper Harry Maguire missed the game with injury.

However, Ince feels Scott McTominay was more deserving of the armband in Maguire’s absence.

Ince said on Sky Sports: “If you were to give it to someone, if I was Rangnick I’d give it to McTominay.

“He’s 25, it would be a nice learning curve for him. Now, why give it to Ronaldo when everyone’s moaning about him walking off the pitch everytime United get beaten and not clapping the fans.

“It’s also about setting an example and I think the way McTominay is playing, give it to him – let him have a go.”

Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro, has explained why he won’t stay one more year at the club.

The 34-year-old is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the current season.

The Brazilian, however, had been urged by the club’s fans to extend his contract by one more year due to his brilliant display for Michael Carrick’s side this term.

Speaking on the development, Casemiro told ESPN Brasil, “There is no chance [for me to stay one more year].

“It is leaving through the front door. It has been four wonderful years, and I am eternally grateful not only to the club but to the fans.

“I think it is over. The cycle has ended here. I am moving on to a new chapter in my career.”
