What do people make of the bailly situation reports today he is looking to leave.
I really like him but hasn't been near the squad for a few games now?

Is it fair to say smalling is Jose first choice cb.

I hope Bailly stays he looked a lot more accomplished than Smalling. The latter is not good enough against the very best.

Jred it appears a few of the papers have all copied each other, wouldn’t exactly trust the S*n and the metro. Fingers crossed it’s nothin major and we see him back soon.

Seems odd that he is not playing when fit. Shame about his injuries and he has looked very accomplished imo.

Maybe Jose doesn't fancy him. It wouldn't surprise me if he was moved on, after all isn't that what we do, fork out, play them a bit, sell for much less?

It's our unique churn strategy, keeps agents happy and the club are always in the market to sign players if we are always selling them a year or two after destroying them, (except for full backs, I think Valencia and Young will still be playing in 2028).

Bailly just needs games to get back up to speed. I don't think Jose wants to give him games at this stage of the season.

Snalljbg has played well. Lindelof has too. I'm sure Bailly will be back in the team with a pre season behind him.

This is the problem when Jose is your manager.

I suspect it's just the normal media anti-United campaign. Slow news day? Well print something about a United player wanting to leave. So far this season Martial, Rashford, Pogba, DDG, Herrera, Darmian, Blind, Fellaini and Romero are all desperate to leave. Now it's Bailly. Some I suspect are keen to leave as they aren't getting much game time, most I suspect is absolute tosh.

For one you can't actually know if someone wants to leave unless they themselves tell you. And there have been no direct quotes from anyone. And trust me if the papers had one they would use it.

Bailly has apparently had a virus over the last couple of games and before that he had a little injury. So I suspect it's a nonsense.

However, Jose does have a habit of falling out with players. His management style is to pick a fight with a player to make the rest stay in line for fear of falling out with him. This nearly always leads to a split in the dressing room, with players eventually not playing for the manager, results go down hill and Jose is sacked.

As such, whenever there is a report that X player wants to leave and isn't happy it could very well be true.
