Jamie Carragher has told Eric Bailly that Harry Maguire is a better defender than him after the Ivorian claimed that Manchester United favoured homegrown players ahead of international recruits.
The centre-half is on loan at Marseille for the season after slipping further down the pecking order at Old Trafford upon the arrival of Lisandro Martinez from Ajax. The Argentine, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof and club captain Harry Maguire are all considered ahead of him in the selection list.
Erik ten Hag convinced Bailly to stay for the summer tour, but his heart was set on an exit as he faced limited minutes under the new boss. Some are taking his outburst as a sly dig at Maguire, who received repetitive criticism before being dropped by Ten Hag.
