Le Tissier named as new Manchester United captain
Maya Le Tissier is the new captain of Manchester United Women.
At just 22, the Guernsey star takes over the role from former team-mate Katie Zelem, who left the club this summer.
‘It’s an honour to be named captain of this great football club and I will wear the armband with real pride, to help drive this team to success on and off the field’, she told the club website.
Le Tissier was the joint winner of United’s Players' Player of the Year award last season, sharing the prize with new vice-captain and England standout Ella Toone.
Maya was also shortlisted for PFA Young Player of the Year having played every game in the league and helping the club to a first FA Cup triumph at Wembley.
They begin their new WSL campaign against West Ham at Old Trafford on 21 September.
