Eric Bailly is one of the better centre-backs in the Manchester United squad but is very consistent with his performances. The Red Devils have been poor defensively lately, and many believe that Bailly is the answer to United’s current defensive woes. But the Ivorian was substituted last night, in his international friendly game against Belgium, scaring Manchester United fans, but he later responded that he was fine.
The centre-back has had his fair share of injury problems at Manchester United, especially in the last couple of years. But the centre-back has been fit this season till now, which looks promising. Eric Bailly played well in his first couple of games this season for the Red Devils, earning himself a place in the starting XI against Tottenham, where United conceded six goals.
With yesterday’s substitution, the United fanbase believed that worst was about to happen, but it wasn’t to be. Bailly came out later on his Instagram stating that he was fine and there was nothing serious to worry about. Solskjaer will be relieved with the update regarding his centre-back’s fitness, as United have a tough run of fixtures to come later this month.
Eric Bailly will be an instrumental figure for Manchester United this season, as the centre-back will need to be at his best for United to succeed.
