Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince has slammed interim manager Ralf Rangnick for choosing Cristiano Ronaldo as the team’s captain against Wolves on Monday. Ronaldo led the players out at Old Trafford, as regular captain Harry Maguire missed the game through injury. However, Ince feels Scott McTominay is 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.”
