LAST CAPTAINS
Fernandes, who missed tonight’s tie through suspension, was named Manchester United‘s permanent captain in the summer of last year when he inherited Harry Maguire’s hat.
Despite having led the team in almost every game, the midfielder was absent for some dates, so Casemiro served as second captain this season. However, as the Brazilian started from the bench this Thursday, Martínez had the chance to put on the tape for the first time today in Türkiye.
In addition to Bruno, who already has several years of experience at the club, Casemiro, Raphaël Varane and Scott McTominay were the only ones to captain the team since the arrival of Erik ten Hag.
