Any player who leaves Manchester United on loan does so with a point to prove. This week, what Eric Bailly pointed out was exactly why he didn't have the right mentality or attitude to cut it at the club.
Bailly, 28, was allowed to join French club Marseille on loan in the summer window despite an encouraging pre-season tour, though he knew he'd be fourth-choice at best this season, following the signing of Lisandro Martinez. Many had hoped the centre-back would leave with his head held high, leaving on his own terms and heading to Ligue 1 to show Erik ten Hag exactly what he was missing.
Instead, he has shown that the Dutchman dodged a bullet by not keeping him at the club. The Ivorian defender caused a social media storm on Tuesday when he voiced a conspiracy theory that United openly favoured English players and didn't give a fair opportunity to others.
