With De Gea now out of the club and Maguire stripped of the captain's armband, two slots are up for grabs ahead of the start of the 2023/24 campaign.

Speaking to the Telegraph, Heaton has confirmed that the Old Trafford squad are waiting for Ten Hag's decision with Bruno already named as Man United's new skipper.

Captaincy long in the making: Bruno's emergence as Man United leader goes back to 2020

The Portuguese, who was the Red Devils' de-facto skipper last season, had made the case for the captaincy long ago — from his very first days at the club.

, Bruno requested to head out onto the pitch once he had signed his paperwork on his first day at Carrington in January 2020.

The midfielder wanted to be as well prepared as possible for the 

 game two days later, thus quickly establishing as a leader among Man United players.

'Bruno was not my first choice': not all Man United fans are happy with new club captain

's new captain, it was officially confirmed last week.

However, not all Old Trafford supporters are happy with the manager's decision due to what they see as the Portuguese's lack of composure on the pitch.

 "I know it might sound crazy to some but I just don't see the captain material in him."

 "Wouldn't have been my choice. Good player and all that but I can't stand his incessant whinging and moaning when things aren't going well. Not what I want from a captain of Man United."

 "Bruno is bit of a whiner when things don't go his way, so he will need to work on that going forward."

 "Bruno was not my first choice, I would have preferred 

. Not a fan of his petulance though, and how he lost his head on several occasions when we got battered last season."

 "I'm sure it's his referee badgering skills and excessive moaning which nailed the appointment."

don't you understand my English ? can I come again?

Bruno, Shaw, Casemiro and Martinez with Shaw as deputy captain.

yes all fans cannot like Bruno to be the Captain but let's look back at when he came to Manchester United, at that time the team was very poor, people used to say a tree cannot make a forest but when Bruno  came a tree make a big forest the whole team changed and became a hard nut to Crack so think back and reflect.

I think Bruno and Casemiro should definitely be in there.. I’d very much like Licha to be in there as well for being very commendable in defence.. Shaw being among the longer United players should complete the quartet.. 🔥🔥🔥👍
