David De Gea has served the club for more than 8 years now and he has done really well.
His performances this season and shown that he is a good leader and he deserves to wear the captain armband.
I believe that some of the Manchester United fans want him to become the club captain, but Ole Gunner made a huge decision on the captaincy role after his arrival at the club.
The Norwegian manager was appointed as a Manchester United after Jose Mourinho lost a game against Liverpool.
Ashley Young was the Manchester United captain before the English winger left the club to join Inter Milan.
Manchester United completed the signing of Harry Maguire from Leicester City and Ole Gunner decided to give him the captain armband that same season.
We’ll be talking about David De Gea and why the next Manchester United permanent manager should give him the captain armband. Ralf Rangnick want to respect Ole’s previous decision because he is just an interim manager.
David De Gea Is One Of The Oldest Manchester United Players At The Club
David De Gea has spent more than 10 years at Manchester United and I would say that he is the oldest player at the club. Some of these players who started together with him at Manchester United have left the club or retired.
The Spanish goalkeeper joined Manchester United from Atletico Madrid and he has won the premier league trophy under Sir Alex Ferguson.
He did really well at the club and he knows the DNA of the red devils. These are the kind of players that should be given the captain armband.
Harry Maguire knows nothing about the Manchester United DNA and he is just like a stranger. A club like Manchester United need a player who has been at the club for many years and knows what it means to represent the red devils.
De Gea Has Improved A lot This Season And He Could Do More With The Captain Armband
I would say that David De Gea has done a lot of things that many of us never expected from him this season. Most of the Manchester United fans thought that Dean Henderson will become the first choice goalkeeper, but things didn’t happen that way.
David De Gea showed that he can do better and I think that he is the best Manchester United player so far this season. He won two Manchester United player of the month award this season and he has saved more penalties this season, than he do in the past 5 seasons.
He has practiced how to save a penalty kick after the defeat in a penalty shoot-out against Villarreal. I noticed that David De Gea gain some fresh energy after Bruno Fernandes gave him the captain armband.
David De Gea has become a goalkeeper who shouted at his defenders and that’s one of the things that he lacks. I think that he will continue that if the next Manchester United manager give him the captain armband.
