Ahead of Thursday's [much-needed 4-1 win](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/marcus-rashford-man-united-betis-29419528) at home to [Real Betis](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/real-betis) in the [Europa League](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/europa-league), former Red Devils midfielder Hargreaves insisted that the 25-year-old forward has what it takes to bear the responsibility - but club legend Scholes isn't so sure.

[Bruno Fernandes](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/bruno-fernandes) was accused of an "embarrassing" performance during last Sunday's [shambolic 7-0 defeat](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/liverpool-man-utd-goals-highlights-29378558) to arch rivals [Liverpool](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc), a debate has raged over [who deserves to wear the armband](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/bruno-fernandes-man-utd-captain-29383577). [Manchester United](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/manchester-united-fc) team-mates [Paul Scholes](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/paul-scholes) and [Owen Hargreaves](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/owen-hargreaves) disagree over whether [Marcus Rashford](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/marcus-rashford) has the credentials to become the club's future captain.
