Sir Alex Ferguson’s triumphant and dominant 26-year reign where he amassed numerous Premier League titles, five FA Cups and a historic treble was largely built on his squad's mentality, mindset and hunger to play a part in the club's success. Bailly’s recent comments highlight why the club have failed to show a fighting spirit and determination to win in recent years.
In a recent interview, Bailly claimed that Manchester United have shown favouritism towards the English players within the squad. He said to The Times: “The club should avoid favouring English players and give everyone a chance.
"The club should encourage competition in the dressing room, not just look out for some. I have always had the feeling that the national player was prioritised.”
