Interim Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick insists that he sees no reason to take the captaincy away from Harry Maguire right now.

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has insisted there is no reason to change Harry Maguire as the club captain.

The central defender joined the Red Devils in 2019 for £80m from Leicester City, and since that point, he has been a regular in the team, and this season the England international has made 20 appearances in the Premier League.

Maguire has received some criticism as of late for his performances, with the club having failed to pick up a victory in their previous three outings.

"In the past two games, yeah he had some weaker moments, against Southampton and when we conceded the goal at Burnley, but he is our captain and I do not see any reason to change that," Rangnick told the press.

"He is a player who has to develop, get better, like all the other players. The way that we are playing now is new also to him because in the English national team he was used to playing in a back three and here at Manchester United, in most cases a back four, but still not being as proactive.

"This is something also new to him and it will also take some time for him to get used to that, to get adjusted to that."

Manchester United will be back in action tonight against Brighton & Hove Albion.
