Hi all,

I have noticed time and time again that Ander Herrera is tipped by many of you lot on here to be the next United captain.

He shows passion week in week out, is a true Red and gives 110%, no doubt about that, but do any of these things show the leadership qualities required of the captain of Manchester United? I don't think so.

We're talking about an armband worn by Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane, Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand to name a few from recent memory. What all of these players had in common was a high leadership attribute.

I am yet to see Ander show this. To be fair, he hasn't really been given the opportunity to, but I think there are players in our squad right now that have it and have shown it. Smalling, Valencia, Pogba potentially and obviously Ibra.

I think Ander has a lot of work to do if he's going to be in the captain discussion when it comes time to make a change, and I think there are much more suitable options in the squad right now.

tl;dr - Herrera has the passion, the love for the club and the ability, but I think he lacks the leadership qualities to be a proper United captain.

Thoughts?
