Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has put his hand up for the club captaincy.

There is talk of manager Erik ten Hag taking the armband away from Harry Maguire for the new season.

Bruno Fernandes is expected to inherit the captaincy, however Casemiro admits he'd also be open to taking on the responsibility.

He told Goal: "To be honest, I like being the captain.

"I like to lead by example, to be the first to train, I like it all. The captain's armband is nothing more than a symbol, but such players should talk to the referees, be an example. I like it."
