Manchester United playmaker, Bruno Fernandes, will be given the captain's armband as Harry Maguire will be absent for the UEFA Champions League game against PSG in Paris tonight.
The news came as a shock to the Portugese during a press conference ahead of the match hours ago
He said for me, "it's an honour that I will be captain first of all for my team-mates and of course being captain of Manchester United is an important achievement for me.
"But I think the captain is everyone – everyone needs to help, everyone needs to be a leader in their way."
Manchester United will also be without Harry Maguire, Mason Greenwood, Eric Bailey, Jesse Lingard and
the new signing and former PSG forward, Edinson Cavani.
United Boss Solksjaer said in the same press conference he declared Fernandes as captain.
"We're a little bit depleted but we have got more than enough players.
"We hope the players won't be away for too long. Edinson needs a few more days training before maybe we can think about the weekend. Hopefully Harry, Eric and Mason as well but we're not sure about that."
