Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester United interim manager, Ralf Rangnick, has insisted that he has not spoken to any player over the captain\u2019s armband.<\/p>\n

There have been reports this week, claiming that Rangnick met with current skipper, Harry Maguire and forward Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

The German is claimed to have told Maguire to relinquish the armband for the time being, to take him out of the line of firing amid his poor performances.<\/p>\n

However, speaking ahead of this weekend\u2019s game against Leeds United, Rangnick confirmed Maguire will remain the leader of the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never spoken with any player about a change of captaincy. This has never been an issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is me who decides who is captain. Harry Maguire is our captain and he will stay captain,\u201d Rangnick said.<\/p>\n
