Eric Bailly blasts Man United for favouring English players

Eric Bailly accused Man United of preferring home-grown players.

The 28-year-old defender joins Marseille on loan this summer after getting frustrated at the lack of opportunities by former managers.

He just started only three Premier League games last season even though signing a new contract back in April 2021.

He joined Marseille on loan and the deal could be permanent for £5.9million if Bailly plays a certain number of games.

The Ivorian Coast defender voiced his displeasure at the selection policy at Old Trafford.

“The club should avoid favouring English players and give everyone a chance. [The club should] encourage competition in the dressing room, not just look out for some. I’ve always had the feeling that the national player was prioritised,” Bailly told The Times.

“That doesn’t happen at Chelsea or other big Premier League clubs. Some people take it for granted that they are going to start, and that weakens the team. Luckily [Erik] Ten Hag has a lot of character and I hope he can change that dynamic.”
