Harry Maguire was expected to leave United in the summer and he was stripped of the armband by Erik ten Hag, which led to Fernandes officially being named captain. The midfielder joined Ten Hag for his pre-match press conference at Carrington on Tuesday afternoon ahead of facing Galatasaray in the Champions League and he opened up on dealing with the criticism. I’m probably not always right, but in my head, at that moment, it's the right choice. Fernandes is the usual penalty taker and he handed Marcus Rashford the spot-kick against Everton at the weekend. "We have a list of penalty takers and there's no order of who's going to be first, second or third," he added.
