Bad treatment from Manchester United
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Eric Bailly revealed a surprising fact from Manchester United. He felt there was a different treatment between native English players and foreign players.
Bailly chose to leave Manchester United this summer. He moved to Olympique Marseille on loan with a permanent purchase option.
Although still tied to Manchester United, Bailly did not hesitate to criticize his club. This seems to have been suppressed for some time.
“Clubs should avoid picking English players and give everyone a chance. Clubs should encourage competition in the changing room,” Bailly told The Times.
“I always feel that local players are prioritized.”
Conflict between English players and foreign players has been under the spotlight in the last season. This reportedly heated up the situation in the locker room.
Bailly himself had this experience when Manchester United lost 2-4 when they traveled to Leicester City headquarters. At that time, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was still sitting in the manager’s chair, chose to play Harry Maguire instead of him.
Even though Maguire at that time was not in a fit condition. The decision proved to be a blunde as the England national team player performed poorly.
Ralf Rangnick’s arrival as caretaker did not make the situation any better. The German tactician still relies on Maguire and Luke Shaw even though his performance has decreased.
Even so, Bailly saw a bright spot in the Manchester United squad. He believes Erik ten Hag has the determination to eradicate this trend.
“This kind of thing doesn’t happen at Chelsea or any other big Premier League club. Some people think they must be starters and that weakens the team.”
“Fortunately (Erik) Ten Hag has a lot of character and I hope he can change that dynamic.”
