Man Utd captain candidate Nemanja Matic has a say in the wearing of the armband

And the midfielder has received support from Captain Marvel, United, Bryan Robson, in his quest for the role.

"It's always good to hear when someone like Bryan Robson says things like that. If he says that, it means something to me. I am happy, "said Matic. Of course, I am one of the most experienced players in the team and, whatever my role, I will try to lead them in the best possible way. "

But he warned, "I'm here to help, of course, but, especially in front of me, they have to listen to me!

"It was a pleasure for me to be the captain against Inter. It's an honor, of course, few players can be the captain. So, whatever happens in the future, I will always remember being captained against Inter.

"The manager must make his decision concerning the harbor master's office for next season, but whatever he decides, we'll be happy of course.

"But let's stay at football, who's the captain is important, but if we play good football and fight for each other, it's the most important."
