First off, age has no influential factor on a player being selected for captaincy. Look at Torres, Terry, Gerrard and occasionally, Fabregas. Torres captained Atletico Madrid when he was only 19 years old.

Secondly, captains may not necessarily be the best player of the team. Captaincy is all about individual characters. Vocal, influential, responsible and just. And these attributes do not make a good footballer, but it creates a good captain.

However, as much of a Liverpool fan I may be, I definitely respect Cristiano Ronaldo. His plays never fail to mesmerise me (the only reason I watch Man Utd's games) and I think he is maturing by the days.

What do I think of Cristiano Ronaldo being a captain? Not now, but I do see that side of him though, the side that is capable of captaining Man Utd or maybe Portugal.

Why not? He conciliated with the whole World Cup fiasco appropriately. He inspires his team when all hopes all lost. He never gives up, which infuses passion to his team mates as well. I guess he just have to be a little more vocal and toughen his character and you may have your next Man Utd captain.

Just my two cents. Cheers!
