On the plane bound for New York, Bruno Fernandes sat in the front row of the Manchester United players' section. A couple of rows behind Fernandes, Harry Maguire was sat by the window, once accustomed to leading from the front.
Fernandes had not yet been officially informed he would become United's official captain. Only three days earlier, Maguire was bluntly told he would no longer have the armband strapped to his bicep.
Appointing Maguire as captain, sanctioning a new contract for Eric Bailly, re-signing Cristiano Ronaldo... The list of mistakes made by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer goes on and Erik ten Hag continues to right the wrongs.
Consider Solskjaer's dismal hit rate in the transfer market: Alex Telles is gone, Donny van de Beek is going and so is Maguire.
