The Englishman did not hesitate to express how “extremely disappointed” he was after receiving the information on Sunday 16 July, 2023.
The centre-back made this known via a statement, saying, “Since the day I took on the role, it’s been a huge privilege to lead Manchester United and one of the proudest moments of my career to date.”
The Statement:
After discussions with the manager today he has informed me he is changing captain. He outlined his reasons to me and whilst I’m personally extremely disappointed, I will continue to give my all every time I wear the shirt.
So I wanted to say a massive thank you to the Manchester United fans for all their brilliant support whilst I’ve been wearing the armband.
Since the day I took on the role, three and half years ago, it’s been a huge privilege to lead Manchester United and one of the proudest moments of my career to date. It’s one of the greatest honours in club football. I’ve done everything I possibly could to help United be successful – on and off the field.
I will always be grateful to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for first giving me the responsibility and I wish whoever now takes it on every success and they will have my full support.
Harry
