Marcus Rashford Stripped of Captaincy after Ipswich Result


Rashford has proven to be the wrong fill the leadership vacuum left at United after Bruno Fernandes' departure.

Marcus Rashford has been stripped of the Manchester United captaincy just two months into the season, a decisive move following a run of underwhelming performances marked by a lack of intensity and leadership on the pitch. While Rashford remains a key figure in the starting XI, the armband has been handed to Bremer, whose authority, consistency, and experience at the heart of the defence have quickly earned the trust of the coaching staff. The decision has not gone down well with Rashford, who is understood to be frustrated at having the responsibility removed so early in the campaign, adding another layer of tension as United look to reset their standards.
