Manchester United 4-1 Bournemouth: 5 Talking Points, Premier League 2018/19

#1 Bailly gives flashes of his ability but remains a liability

Bailly was sent off in the second half

Eric Bailly's game was a small insight into what his career at Manchester United has been thus far. He showed glimpses of his ability, but his rash tackle put United in a vulnerable position. The complexion of the game at the time meant that the red card had little effect, but it was not welcome by any means.

Bailly is a physically intimidating defender, who is fast and agile at the same time. On his day, he is a match for any attacker. However, he is prone to lapses of concentration at times. His challenge on Fraser was a stupid one, and referee Lee Mason had no choice but to send him off.

Phil Jones was benched for Bailly after the former started the two games before that. If Bailly can't put away these moments of stupidity, Jones could put him out of the starting eleven.
