Premier League: 7 of the biggest disappointments so far

#5 Eric Bailly - Manchester United

Bailly has been full of mistakes in the opening games

Manchester United problems began early in preseason when they failed to get a reinforcement at center back- something that Jose Mourinho so desperately wanted. The opening weeks of the season have gone by and it is evident why the manager was so desperate.

United conceded 7 goals in the opening three games, a stat that is baffling since Mourinho's sides are usually so good at the back. Ivorian defender Eric Bailly was largely at fault for a shaky display in defense. While United's other defenders save for Luke Shaw haven't been any better, Bailly stands out because of his inherent quality and the usual expectations that surround him at the club. Seeing him struggle at the back was a worrying feature for the club's fans.

ManUtd did manage their first clean sheet against Burnley, but Bailly only came on as a late substitute. The season is a long one and the manager has to make do with the players he's got. Bailly for one is an extremely talented player and needs to rediscover his form to help stabilize a fledgling United side.
