Manchester United Fans Tell Louis van Gaal To Hand Over Captaincy From Wayne Rooney To Bastian Schweinsteiger

At the same time as Jamie Vardy was breaking records at one end of the pitch, at the opposite end Wayne Rooney was once again failing to make an impact as Manchester United drew 1-1 away at Leicester.

The England forward was subbed off for Memphis Depay in the 68th minute after failing to register a single shot on target or create any chances and many supporters began turning on their captain.

Some Red Devils fans even called for Rooney to be stripped of his captaincy and for the armband to be given to Bastian Schweinsteiger who scored at the King Power Stadium just before half-time.
The German midfielder is finding his feet in the Premier League and fans are noticing the 31-year-old’s leadership qualities on the pitch.

Here’s how some United fans reacted to Rooney’s subpar performance…

Bastian Schweinsteiger should be #Mufc captain

Can we just make Schweinsteiger captain and official team Die Hard villain and be done with it?

Schweinsteiger should be the Man United captain. It's undeniable. He influences the team, Rooney doesn't

Even without the armband, Schweinsteiger is 100 times the captain Rooney will ever be. Easily the Worst United captain in my time.
