Bruno Fernandes reveals Harry Maguire's reaction to Man Utd captaincy decision

New Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has revealed former skipper Harry Maguire was 'really happy' for him, despite being stripped of the armband himself.

"After discussions with the manager today he has informed me he is changing captain . He outlined his reasons to me and whilst I'm personally extremely disappointed, I will continue to give my all every time I wear the shirt," Maguire confirmed with a statement on social media...
