  • Alphonso Davies is astonished England defender Harry Maguire captains a side Cristiano Ronaldo plays in
  • The Bayern Munich lateral defender, who helped Canada qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1986, believes Ronaldo should be handed the captain's armband
  • Maguire has been called out for his lack of leadership interlaced with a string of poor performances this season

Canada and Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies has joked about Manchester United's choice of Harry Maguire as club captain.

Maguire, who arrived at Manchester United three years ago and was appointed skipper of the Red Devils six months later, has come under serious scrutiny following a string of poor performances.

His below-par performances have intensified questions of his eligibility as captain of Manchester United, especially with the presence of Ronaldo at the club.

Ronaldo rejoined the Red Devils at the start of the ongoing campaign but has not been able to inspire the 20-time English champions to the anticipated heights preceding his arrival.

Regardless of his inability to fire Manchester United to hallowed grounds, many have clamoured the Portugal captain is installed as captain ahead of Harry Maguire.

And Alphonso Davies, who returned from a long injury layoff, took a swipe at Manchester United's decision to choose Harry Maguire as skipper of the club ahead of ex-Real Madrid icon Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Can you guys imagine [that] you're Ronaldo, right?" Davies asked his followers on his Twitch channel. "One of the greatest players ever, in the 21st century." Davies quipped as quoted by GOAL.
He continued: "Harry Maguire is your captain. You refer to him as captain - I don't know what he says to him.
Realising his comments were harsh, he quickly said: "I'm not dissing Harry Maguire, but Ronaldo should get the armband, man."

Maguire responds to reports questioning his captaincy at Manchester United

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that English international Harry Maguire rubbished claims that he doesn't deserve to be the captain of Manchester United.

The 29-year-old defender who arrived the Old Trafford in 2019 on a record-breaking transfer was elevated to the position of club captain six months after he joined the club.

Maguire cost Manchester United a monstrous £80m from Leicester City but has come under scathing criticism over his form and disappointing performances.
