The Englishman has expressed his desire to don the armband
If reports from the Sun are to be believed,Wayne Rooney has proclaimed that he desires to be Manchester United’s captain.
Our current “Captain Marvel” Nemanja Vidic has already agreed to join Italian giants Inter Milan and will be sorely missed.But David Moyes is looking at some players who are suitable enough to attire the captain’s armband. Jonny Evans,Phil Jones,Darren Fletcher ,Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney are some of the names which are believed to be in the favored list.
Jonny Evans and Phil Jones are somewhat unlikely choices ,handing opportunities to Carrick,Fletcher and Rooney.The 28 year old Englishman was recently tied down to a new contract worth 300,000 a week and is supposedly considered to be the perfect replacement for outgoing Vida.
Wazza has already captained United not just this season but also in 2010 and 2011.But,there are doubts surrounding his credentials as a captain mainly because of his mentality of stating that he wants to leave the club every five minutes.It remains to be seen whether the fans will be happy to see him don the vacant armband or not.
In my opinion,Jonny Evans should be the one who must be named as United’s next captain.He showcases abilities of being a calm character on the pitch and is also a rather vocal and an organizing defender,who is often seen organizing players on the pitch.
