Manchester United defender Eric Bailly reportedly confronted former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over his continuing selection of Harry Maguire even when there were doubts over his fitness.

The England international was rushed back into Solskjaer’s XI for the 4-2 defeat away to Leicester City, and his poor performance certainly showed it was a rash call by the Norwegian tactician.

According to the Times, Bailly was not at all happy about this, and raised the issue during a clear-the-air meeting between Solskjaer and his players after the defeat at the King Power Stadium.

The Ivory Coast international openly called Solskjaer out for favouritism due to picking Maguire ahead of him even though he clearly wasn’t ready to play.
