Manchester United gave the captain's armband to defender Raphael Varane for a today's friendly.

The Red Devils made news by stripping Harry Maguire of his role as club captain this summer.

Coach Erik ten Hag has indicated he will be choosing his next skipper without consulting the squad.

United played Lyon in a friendly on Tuesday, winning 1-0 through a Donny van de Beek goal.

Varane was skipper for the game, but there has been no indication about a permanent club captain.

Bruno Fernandes is seen as the favorite to take on the armband on a permanent basis.
