Bruno Fernandes to lead Manchester United against PSG.


Bruno Fernandes will wear the captain's armband when Manchester United take on Paris Saint-Germain in the opening encounter of the Champions league, following Harry Maguire being ruled out for the encounter.

Maguire overcame a slight injury to play and score in the 4-1 over Newcastle United on Saturday night, but he has now been ruled out of the trip to France.

Solskjaer, confirmed during a press conference in Paris on Monday, that the Portuguese will captain United in Maguire's absence.

 "We hope Harry will be fit for the weekend game (for the Chelsea game) but we're not sure," Solskjaer told reporters in Paris. "The captain is sitting next to me. Bruno will captain the team tomorrow (Tuesday)."

A surprised Bruno said, "I was not expecting this. I know the same time as you. Of course, for me, it's an honour i will be captain for my team-mates and being captain for Manchester United is important for me.

United will be without Eric Bailly, Jesse Lingard, Mason Greenwood and Edison Cavani.
