Manchester United supporters are demanding that Erik ten Hag names David de Gea as his new captain following an explosive final day outburst. De Gea and Cristiano Ronaldo have been two standouts for United in what will go down as an otherwise disastrous season.
Change is on the horizon as Ten Hag prepares to arrive at Old Trafford after watching from the stands at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon. Wilfried Zaha netted the winner for Crystal Palace against his former club and De Gea was not a happy man post-match - despite Europa League qualification being confirmed.
United were beaten for the 12th time in the Premier League this campaign as Ten Hag goes about his much-needed rebuild. De Gea will no doubt form part of his plans, especially given that Dean Henderson is on the verge of a summer transfer to Saudi-backed Newcastle.

During his explosive post-match interview, De Gea told MUTV: "It's the same feeling. The level we have shown over the last three or four months isn't enough to win a Premier League match, we were sloppy, we lost some easy balls around our box. It's impossible to win these games.
"I hope things will get better for next season. This is the past already. We all know it's been a bad season.
"The people who don't want to stay, just go, and the people who really want to stay at the club, who want to fight for the club, let's have a good rest in the summer, prepare ourselves in the mind and in the body and let's get ready to fight again next season."
