Bruno Fernandes makes Manchester United captaincy admission and Rasmus Hojlund verdict given

Here are your Manchester United morning headlines on Monday, September 11. Bruno Fernandes considers being Manchester United's captain as more of an honour than a responsibility.

Harry Maguire made just eight league starts last season and Fernandes was the de facto captain in the majority of the games, so it wasn't a surprise to see Erik ten Hag officially give him the armband in the summer.

Fernandes has been at the club for over three years and he was unanimously the selection to succeed Maguire. The midfielder also played the most games of any player in Europe's top five leagues last season, playing over 6,000 minutes.
