Barely any of his injuries are from him tacking too hard though so it really isn't a problem. It is completely overstated.

It wasn't lucky though, that's the point
The fact he can be out for such long periods of time and still be so good says a lot about the player mentality and quality imo. Please be injury free and he will be a top 5 defender in the league.
Exactly, I'd imagine he made a big shout for it too as he immediately got up and had a go at Valencia for not getting out of the way.
He could easily of got smashed by Arnautovic and injured, why put yourself in that position if you're injury prone? I remember the last time he made a similar tackle and then was injured for months.
Or he is capable of reading the speed of the ball and player and judging if he can get it. When was this similar tackle?
Swansea 0:4 Man Utd
Playing well. Should have scored a header early on.
Yeh don't want to jinx it but him and Bailly are bossing Abraham.
He's been immense.
He's been our best player in the first half.
Still rate Rojo over him but he makes a very good partner for Bailly as well. Fingers crossed he keeps himself fit this season, then we have ourselves a very good defender.
I'm sure no one but United fans will say it but he's actually a very composed defender most of the time, he's matured well and isn't as rash as he used to be.
Bailly needs to improve, Jones has been much, much better than him.
Bossing it.
He got better as the game went on IMO.
There has never been a question about his talent and skills. It's more the fact he's built out of chipsticks.
By far. Last game as well. Jones has been more dominant defensively, more composed on and off the ball and more involved in the build up.
There have been many who've called him a bad player and worse things.
He's a machine.
MOM up to now
Solid pairing if jones can stay fit
I don't think there's a better defender than him in the league.
Playing really well so far.
Has been playing really really well. Please don't ever be injured again.
Think the general consensus on here of Bailly is way off and he isn't easily our best CB at all and isn't the best at all for me. It isn't Bailly +1 like so many say. Bailly is just another good CB in a pretty good group we got. He has his strengths and weaknesses just like the rest. We've got a damn good set of CBs imo.
Bordering on faultless today. I'd say he should take a bow but he'd probably do his back in.
Feels weird to pick a CB as MOTM in 4-0 but I'll pick him. Excellent today.
Not getting carried away as I know this time next month he'll be crocked.
Too bad international break is coming up after next week... will likely get injured again.
He was excellent, please stay fit.
He was excellent, please stay fit.
Same here, fantastic performance that enabled the result today.
He was immense today. Had he put away that header in the first half it would have been a 10/10 performance.
If he can stay fit he is looking class again. Fingers crossed.
I think he's proved they're idiots. For some reason, the more he's injured, the 'worse' he gets, unlike a lot of other players who 'become amazing' whenever they're not available.
I really want him to stay fit and prove Fergie right!
Just stay fit Phil!
I dare not get my hopes up. You can see why Fergie played him wherever he he could.
I thought Bailly had a decent game?
It was either him or Bailly for MOTM. Played well.
When he played last season, he was fantastic. That fine form has continued, and so far this season, he's been brilliant. My man of the match.
Rock.
He did. Thought he was excellent.
I was talking about the first half where I don't think he was great. Improved a lot in the second half.
