Not sure I'd call him underrated. Apart from United fans, a lot of people were raving about him after his start last season - especially compared to the CBs bought by other clubs in the same window. I think he's respected.
He never gets mentioned when people talk about the best defenders in the league.
Bailly has this madness and arrogance about him that I like. He's like a defending genius. If he were a scientist, he would be like a Feynman or Dippel or even Einstein.
But be very ready for the day he will get a decisive red card or cause a costly penalty. It's in him. Generally brilliant but also potentially erratic.

My man of the match today. Was good to see him get a goal but also his display at the back. He was always there to halt any attack and was always in with a good challenge. He plays like a mix of Rio & Vida. Love him!
He went on 2 crazy charges atleast.
Apart from that he was pretty good but he can cost us sometimes.

I noticed that today too. He also seems to have a massive leap on him too!
Love my some Bailey
A very no nonsense type. Very aggressive (to a fault sometimes) and tenacious. Big fan of his. Still has a rash decision in him, but would easily say he's our best defender.
Chuffed to bits for him, he's been a great signing. Solid as a rock defensively and got a goal reward today for being tenacious in the box.
Lukaku congratulating Bailly.
I loved the way he was defending corners for us yesterday, so unorthodox
Brillient.
Not sure why he was marking Bartley on set pieces when we could have had someone taller marking the tall guy, and Bartley did get his head on a few chances as a result. But other than that, he was again very solid. Used his pace well at times. Great reactions for the opening goal, pleased for him that he's gotten on the scoresheet at last.
Our best CB and top 5 in the league.
Between him and Alderweireld as the best center backs in the league IMO. Just class.
Another brilliant performance and delighted for him scoring!
I genuinely think he's my favourite player.

Lets just hope that red was the one he already got where he missed the europa and supercup final and that is the end of it lol.

Lazy criticism.
That's the centre back equivalent of saying a full back is good going forward but suspect defensively.

I've been thinking about the high-end talent we have that is 24 and under (more specifically born on January 1st 1993 or later) and how many defenders of that age or younger are even in the discussion with Bailly right now? Off the top of my head, I would say Varane, Giminez and Sule, but it's very limited company. Combine that with arguably the best CM in the world of that age (Pogba) and a top 5 striker/#9 in that age group, we have a ridiculous spine going forward.
Yep i see it a lot but has bailly ever actually done something to cause that reaction? He seems very calm most of the time. Likes to do acrobatic clearances and jumps and is unique in a way, but almost never goes in too aggressively to give you the thought that he'l get sent off.
Sure the europa league thing happened, but im convinced their guy did something or said something as both valencia and bailly suddenly wet mad. It happens.
Tempting fateJust watched the 14 videos - what a guy
Man Utd 2:0 Leicester
Want to call him a beast without sounding racist.
He's some player. He's been brilliant today.
One dodgy moment under the high ball aside he's been very good.
He loves being Eric "the Beast" Bailly so i dont think he minds anyway
He's our best CB since when? Few good years I think. Brilliant player.
Monster.
Very good game handling Vardy
He's beastly, and hilarious. What a man.
What a footballer, a proper intelligent defender who's a class act on the ball. Love him. Vardy must hate the bloke.
At his best he's an absolute tank of a man with bundles of ability to go along with it. He's completely sussed Vardy out.
Great game today. Such a beast. We have such a good set of central defenders! Keep this up now Bailly!
Like Jones, he is so eager to, first and foremost, defend. He just loves defending. Another solid performance.
Only criticism was the last min of the game when he ran over Gray, whilst Valencia was there and left Slimani free, who nearly scored.
Other than that, like I said, very good.
