VIDEO: Ralf Rangnick has suggested that Manchester United should look into a change of how they pick their captain, with Harry Maguire struggling this season,WATCH WHAT HE SAID ABOUT HIM.

Maguire has been criticised a lot for his form this season for United, despite the fact that the player has claimed he is playing well and that's why he continues to be picked.

The defender's season was perhaps best summed up by the fact that he recently managed to accidentally kick Paul Pogba in the face whilst attacking a corner.

So bad has he been, according to fans, that there's even been a petition to remove him as captain, which has been signed by over 40,000 fans.

Now Rangnick, who has. been very honest in his assessment of the team in the past few weeks, has suggested that Maguire could be removed as captain.

Speaking ahead of United's game with Chelsea on Thursday, the interim manager was asked if the former Leicester City defender would continue wearing the armband.

"I understand your question, but again I think it doesn’t make sense because you don’t know which kind of players will be here, what the group will look like," the interim boss said.

"I can only tell what I have done in the past when I was the head coach or the manager, because in Germany it’s called ‘match kapitan’, so the captain of the team.

"I strongly believe that the captain should be elected by the team because he’s called the team manager, and we always did that.
