During my time as manager of Manchester United, I was aware that Bruno Fernandes possessed traits typical of a captain. Although he is aware of the fact that he is sometimes overly enthusiastic and loses some control, he is aware of the fact that he possesses the personality and characteristics that he possesses.

During an interview with the Stick To Football podcast, Solskjaer stated, “I loved Harry Maguire as a captain, he was the leader in that group for me when I was at the club.”
