Pep Guardiola told who to name as next Manchester City captain

Former Manchester City captain Andy Morrison believes Pep Guardiola should consider Fernandinho as the next club captain. David Silva took the armband when Vincent Kompany left, but the Spaniard will end his time at the Etihad this summer. Morrison says Guardiola doesn't necessarily need to appoint a natural leader, but a player who will lead by example. Speaking to MEN Sport, Morrison said: "It's not just what you see on the pitch on a matchday, it's how players carry themselves, that humility. Being humble is a trait. I don't know the characters of the players to say 'he's got outstanding captain's qualities' but I've always been incredibly fond of Fernandinho. "He's not just an outstanding footballer but the way he conducts himself. He's got such a strong mentality and he's a proper man. When I look at him, he's a player everyone at the club would follow, the players would follow him. I've often said it's not about the title of captain that players follow, it's the courage. Fernandinho's got that in abundance and for me he would be a standout candidate." Source: MEN
