He would actually be really suited to the Italian league, bit slower. Premier league is too erratic for a player as erratic as him!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Just more worrying decisions made by Ole and his team, they don’t seem to see the simple things.
FFS. He's been with us for like 5 years now.
The most overrated United centre-back in recent times.
Lad is a clown. AND injury prone.
Useless.

OG aside he was our best defender in the first half. But of course he was the one who was taken off at the half time.
It was another really poor mistake and again the kind which only Bailly would make. Am not going to say anything else about him today because after all he is 4th choice and we just have to live with this from him.
Yeah he’s not good enough, consistent enough or fit enough. Should have been sold by now.
While I do think you can blame him, you have a valid point and I agree about it was just a matter of who and how many.
Are we really going to blame Bailly when we had Bruno and AWB not even bothered to close down that cross?
Lindelof practically did the same thing, luckily DDG managed to save. He fecked up it’s nothing new.
Classic RedCafe. So many of our players get better when they're not playing, then they get a chance and we remember why they dont get picked.
I'm not saying Bailly was at fault today, we lose that game anyway. I'm just pointing out how ridiculous it is that we focus on individuals all the time, when the reality is the majority of our problems are structural/tactical

well he's the one that sliced it into the net, proper Madman(TM) style.
Typical Bailly skill
Bailly to an absolute tee.
Unexpected strong game midweek, absolute game losing massive mistake in the next.
Hearing he's now injured for 3months would complete the cycle.

Legend and my MOTM.
The goal was not really poor luck, just poor execution. It was a fairly simple ball. We saw similar clearances against Atalanta where he makes a spectacular Kung fu clearance instead of the non spectacular version done by players with good positioning. Looks awesome when it works.
So he should've left it for Lindelof or Silva/Gundogan to tap it in?
It was unfortunate and maybe he should've done better, but the bigger mistake came from Bruno who was casually jogging instead of sprinting to close down the cross.
It's like blaming De Gea for the second goal, when AWB didn't close down Cancelo and chuckle brothers let the ball bounce in front of the six yard box and pass right in front of them.
No, he should have cleared it without slicing it into his own net.
Bruno and AWB were also careless in letting the man get the cross in, but once it's in, you gotta deal with it without scoring an own goal.
Apart from a couple of mistakes against Atalanta he had an ok game.
But the way some fans go on about him you'd think he was a world class defender
Indeed. A wild desperate lunge under no pressure. Thought his positioning was consistently poor with AWB as well, they were too far apart too often. All the defenders had bad moments today though. Confidence is in the toilet.
A goal can feature multiple bad mistakes, from multiple players. Working out the player most at fault doesn’t magically make all the other clangers irrelevant.
I know, all the “if only he’d been able to stay fit he’d be the x best CB in the PL” nonsense. He’s a very average player who has some good games but mostly very average games.Apart from a couple of mistakes against Atalanta he had an ok game.

Most goals feature multiple errors. The defender getting tackled as the last man is quite rare.
Lindelof is indeed capable of a good lobbed pass. It doesn't always come of but it's great when it does. Bailly however is better at passing generally, and he releaseses the ball much quickly than both. He's also a better player technically, and that comes from playing youth football in Spain. Varane is our best passer at the back overall
It's always the same. Clueless people singing his praise and he should start ahead of someone. After a couple of starts he starts with his Baillyness. Terrible positioning, high kicks, rushing out or dribbles. Playing alongside him must make you feel insecure.
He's entertaining though, no wonder he's got a parody Twitter account

I think he was unfortunate with the OG. At least he was trying to disrupt the attack and stop the cross.
More proactive than the rest of our defenders.
Honestly a own goal like that, can happen anywhere.
They called me a madman.

He posted pictures of his own goal. Never seen that before.
Proactiveness is good, but you still gotta concentrate man.
Our defense is just so poor at concentration. All of them really. Away with the fecking fairies, as Scholes puts it.
For fecks sake Ole, stop this shit.
I normally hate the canned apology tweets but this one is hilarious
He is always on the verge of making a costly mistake to be fair, even at his best games. When he manages to avoid one he usually looks super cool though.
Ole needs his scapegoat to deflect the blame amongst the players. I bet he laid into Bailly at half time.
He's not good enough.
oh definitely. He is very mistake prone though..
He was like that at Villareal too. There is good and bad to his game.
Bailly doing Bailly things. You play with defensive fire like that and eventually you are going to get burned.
I thought this too when watching, then again I dont think we know how to get the most out of our players in a 3-5-2 nor do they know themselves what they should do
Lindelof was the only one who looked somewhat up for it in our backline today
What? Bailey was better than him, only for DeGea he’d have an OG too
