Sir Alex Ferguson has discussed with ESPN the decision of Louis van Gaal to make Wayne Rooney Manchester United captain. The former manager believes it’s no surprise that Rooney was given the armband.
Wayne was a typical English player, determined when he came to United, so it’s not a surprise that he is the captain. Plus, there’s the longevity he’s been there, over 10 years, so that all works into the way United work. If my captains were injured, it was always the case that the most senior players became captain.
