We all know Carrick is the vice captain and Valencia was given the armband when neither Rooney or Carrick were unavailable. He seemed to be extremely proud of it too. So I was surprised Blind was given the armband today although Valencia and DDG were on the pitch as they are higher in seniority level. So there is no fixed third captain or was it just given to Blind today randomly for no specific reason ?

PS: Valencia has been hot consistently now through out the pre season and this game as well. He can defend attack, he's a work horse and is hardly injured. Damian will have to wait.
