The 30-year-old has worn the armband since January 2020 but with his role on the team now limited to cameos and cup appearances, it became increasingly obvious he would lose his captaincy.

Maguire took to his Twitter account to announce that he had spoken to Ten Hag and the manager has made a decision.

With David De Gea gone, Bruno Fernandes is now the obvious candidate to replace Maguire as captain. 

Other options for the role include Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, and former Real Madrid man Caemiro.
