Mikael Silvestre believes there are pros and cons for Manchester United with Bruno Fernandes as the new club captain and feels the midfielder's overreaction to events on the pitch at times can bring frustration to his teammates.
Erik ten Hag has handed the armband to Fernandes after stripping previous incumbent Harry Maguire of the United captaincy. The defender was dropped by Ten Hag early last season and Fernandes took the captaincy in Maguire's stead.
The armband was formally handed to Fernandes this summer owing to Maguire being well down the pecking order in the heart of defence behind Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof and even Luke Shaw.
The England international appears unlikely to start many games in the upcoming season, except in the event of injury or squad rotation.
