My Premier League weekend: Why Bruno Fernandes must keep the Man United captaincy, plus what insiders are telling me at Nottingham Forest and Fulham, writes IAN LADYMAN

Much noise around Bruno Fernandes and his suitability as Manchester United captain, some of it led by my colleague Oliver Holt.

'Excellent player, never a leader in a million years,' said the Daily Mail's Chief Sports Writer on X.

It's a commonly held opinion. I mean, do United and their supporters really want a skipper who gets so upset by a referee brushing against his shirt before a penalty that he then lands his spot-kick in the River Thames?

But consider this simple question. If not Bruno for the United armband then who?
