Since the arrival of Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, the Red Devils have been in constant renewal both in the playing style and players. Unfortunately, the latter has affected those who were the most important last season. The new manager basically doesn't count on them anymore.
The first impact was the Portuguese legend, Cristiano Ronaldo. The only one who had an outstanding season at Manchester United last season is now just one more of the team. The Dutch coach decided to play without him and now he only subs in if ten Hag sees it necessary.

Taking his place now is English striker Marcus Rashford, who is Manchester United's attacking leader. But Ronaldo is not the only one who has been affected. The entire defensive line from last year -- Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Harry Maguire -- now watch games from the bench.
The big problem for ten Hag, the captaincy
At the beginning of the season, Erik ten Hag had decided to keep Harry Maguire as Manchester United's starter and captain. However, after two games he benched the Englishman and now he faces a big problem, who will be the new captain if Maguire is not on the field?
Most likely now it'll be Bruno Fernandes or David de Gea, but taking away Maguire's captaincy would only further him away from the team and probably soon he'll ask for a transfer request out of the Red Devils.
