Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick says Nemanja Matic will captain the Reds against Young Boys in the Champions League.
United will host Young Boys in the Champions League today and the Swiss will seek to get three points against the Reds in other to qualify for the Europa League.
In the Tuesday press conference ahead of the game Rangnick confirmed that Dean Henderson and Donny Van De Beek will start for the Reds.
It appears that club captain Harry Maguire will be rested while Bruno Fernandes will not start the game.
Nemanja, who appeared alongside Rangnick at his media briefing, told United Review, at the time, how much the responsibility means to him.
“That was not even a dream because, when you start from a small village in Serbia, when you play for a team that has only one ball for one year and you just play with one ball!” the 33-year-old said.
“I was dreaming to maybe play in the Serbian division, maybe Red Star Belgrade, but I am at Manchester United.
“It is kind of a dream. I am very proud because of that and, for sure, I take all the armbands to my home and that one will be framed.”
The Serbian further stated that he expect a hard test from Young boys as they the Reds were defeated by them in the first leg.
“They are a good team. It’s not the first time we played against them, [we did] a couple of years ago. We played against them and I remember we had some difficulties. They are a good squad, a good club, so we expect a very hard game and I think we are prepared very well. We know what we can expect, so our approach will be good, I’m sure.”
He further stated that they are trying to adapt to the new manager Ralf Rangnick’s idea as he believes they are helping each other grow.
“Every manager has his ideas, we are trying to adapt, of course, to give our best to help him adapt as soon as possible on us and, of course, we have to adapt to him. We are helping each other, at the moment, everything looks good, let’s see on the pitch in the future.”
