Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester United players will overlook Cristiano Ronaldo when they vote for a new captain under Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n

The Sun reports that goalkeeper, David De Gea, is the favourite to replace Harry Maguire as the Red Devils\u2019 captain.<\/p>\n

Erik ten Hag will allow his Manchester United stars the chance to determine whether to allow Maguire remain as captain or vote in another.<\/p>\n

Maguire became Manchester United\u2019s captain just six months after joining the club from Leicester City, taken over from Ashley Young.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old\u2019s form has dropped massively following the arrivals of Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo, who appear to undermine his authority in the dressing room.<\/p>\n

The England defender lost his place in United\u2019s starting XI during the final weeks of a torrid campaign, during which he was abused by his own fans and was the target of a sickening bomb threat.<\/p>\n

The Sun reports that there is no sense of rebellion in the air regarding the voting but the chance to start the Ten Hag era with a clean slate and a new skipper is appealing.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman will allow his players to vote for their new skipper and a clear favourite is said to have already emerged in the form of long-serving goalkeeper David de Gea.<\/p>\n

De Gea, who joined United ten years ago, returned to his best form last season and won the Players\u2019 Player of the Year Award for a series of outstanding displays.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo is also in the running but, according to the report, De Gea looks certain to win any vote amongst his teammates.<\/p>\n
