John O'Shea has admitted Erik ten Hag might choose his own captain at Manchester United this summer.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer officially installed Maguire as United's captain in January 2020 and the defender has worn the armband ever since. Maguire has underperformed this season, though, and his role as club captain has been thrown into doubt.
United supporters have unanimously called for Maguire to be stripped of the captain's armband this term. The 29-year-old has dealt with intense criticism and Ten Hag, who was unveiled to the media this week, could remove the armband from him.

However, former United centre-back O'Shea has revealed he would have no problem with Maguire continuing as captain.
"That's up to the new manager," O'Shea told the Manchester Evening News.
"It's a perfect scenario with the new manager coming in, he gets to see everyone, gets to talk to everybody, look at the personalities that he wants and he'll make the call. I'd have no issue with Harry continuing as captain.
"It's been a difficult season for everyone, the club, we have to get away from targeting individuals, it never does well.
"The team as a whole, the club as a whole, stays together and that's the only way the club can improve."
