Jose Mourinho ‘so frustrated with Eric Bailly that Manchester United boss could sell defender’
Bailly has started just one match since the Manchester derby on April 7 and was an unused substitute for the FA Cup final
ERIC BAILLY is reported to have frustrated Jose Mourinho so much that he could be sold.
Bailly has started just one match since the Manchester derby on April 7 and was an unused substitute for the FA Cup final.
But Manchester United boss Mourinho has claimed he is showcasing his other centre-backs to make sure they get into their national squads for Russia.
The Ivory Coast failed to qualify for the World Cup.
Earlier in May, Mourinho said: “There's no situation, he is fine, no injury.
“He is one of our five central defenders and honestly my work is not about World Cups and preparing players for the World Cup or giving chances to players at the World Cup, but he's the only central defender whose country is not in the World Cup.
“So if I have to make a kind of more emotional effective choice to help my players he's the one I'm not going to help.
“Rojo, Lindelof, Jones, Smalling, all of them are wishing to make the squad for the World Cup and Eric is not under that pressure.
“I try to be a good team manager and that means a bit cold, a bit selfish but I’m not as bad as that and I still have space for a little bit of feelings so when I look to the other four central defenders fighting for a position in the World Cup I am giving less to Eric.”
