Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard says he is happy with his decision to name John McGinn the new captain of the club.
The Scottish midfielder succeeds Tyrone Mings who had been Villa skipper at the club when Gerrard was appointed manager last November.
Speaking at his first pre-match press conference of the season, Gerrard said that it was always his intention of naming a full-time captain and that the transition between the two players has been really easy.
