Manchester United boss Ralph Rangnick has rubbished claims of asking Harry Maguire to give up the captaincy.
Rangnick says reports in some newspapers suggesting Maguire will be stripped of the Manchester United captaincy is "absolutely nonsense".
"I've never spoken with players about captaincy," said Rangnick. "It's never been an issue with me. Harry is our captain and will stay our captain.
"I'm not frustrated at all because I know it is not true – all the other things I don't listen to that noise because I focus on preparing the team.
"I have heard about what was written – yes there were players that were unhappy at the end of the window. This has improved and the atmosphere in the locker room is better than it was a few weeks ago.
"It's about performing well and showing togetherness on the pitch. That's what we can influence."
