Erik Ten Hag Can’t Take His Captain Decision Lightly – Danny Murphy

Ex Liverpool midfielder, Danny Murphy has come out to say that Erik ten Hag should make one of his new signings the club captain next season. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he doesn’t think it should be set in stone, but he believes at this present time this is a very important decision for United moving forward, and not one that should be taken lightly.

Danny added that his feeling is that the best thing a new manager should do is to give the captaincy to a player he knows and trusts.

His words, “I don’t think it should be set in stone, but I think in this particular occasion this is a very important decision from United moving forward and not one that should be taken lightly. I certainly don’t think he should be leaving that position to the players.”

“I think what you could do is you could leave it as it is to give himself a bit of time to make the right decision. My feeling is sometimes the best thing to do for a new manager is to give the captaincy to a player he knows and trusts who he brings in.”

“Who he brings in from the outside. [Donny van de Beek] is already there and he’s not played enough, so that would be a bit farcical.”

“But if you bring in a leader, you bring in someone and you go ‘you’re the captain as well’. You’re kind of together then.”
