Rooney will captain MU against Swansea, but LvG still unsure over captaincy.

With RvP missing the Swansea game, does this mean Rooney will be vice?

I'd be happy with either as captain.

I personally would prefer it to be either Rooney or Van Persie as Captain and Jonny Evans to be vice captain. Then we have people with authority at both ends of the pitch that will play in a majority of games.

I'm really against strikers being captain or your best player.

RVP has done nothing to warrant being united captain, not once has he shown any indication of being a leader for United, if anything he's been quite the opposite, going missing and hiding at big times over the past year

Fletcher will be Captain

5.) 04 Aug 2014
I really hope it's not RVP. Rooney, Fletcher or even Evans would all do a much better job.

I hope it is de gea, both rooney and rvp have too much of an ego. Having one of the two will cause a stir in the media which ain't good for the team.

You don't have to wear the armband to be a captain.

Is it time for Phil Jones to step up to where we thought he eould be at this stage, become captain and run our defence for the next 10 years?

Is that too much to ask for?

If Jones has a good season then definitely. But he hasn't performed and seems a bit dim. If he can lead by example then he is a good shout, but he needs to do that at least, first.

Beast you can't expect your captain to be injured half of the season, Jones has to show the team that he can consitently play for two seasons in a row before being considered a captain
