Saw that on Twitter too.
I prefer him to Lindelof but that's not saying much. He can't stay fit so if he left the biggest loss would be his character.

I would say if he was able to stay fit he'd be 100% right but since he is not reliable he can't have many complaints.
I probably do too he's definitely the type of defender we need alongside Maguire but he's just so injury prone. To be honest it does seem a bit rich for him to be ''furious'' at being left out when he's missed so many games through injury over the last 5 years.
Didn't expect such a quick reported deterioration
, bloody shame as I still believe he's at worst the 2nd best CB in the squadSuch a bizarre story this one, I feel like he's done fairly well for game time as a percentage of the occasions he's actually been fit to play.
Despite having a high top level he's also a bit of a liability sometimes, and should be grateful to at least be getting regular game time at this level when fit - which is not very often.
I could understand frustrated, but furious? It's weird and makes me worry a bit about the state of the dressing room in general for someone seemingly so popular amongst the lads to have this mindset.

Give him what he wants so.
If that's true he has some f**king neck to be at this given how little he's contributed in his time here.
He has no right to be furious, he's been here five years and he's unreliable.
If he wants out so be it, let him go. None of this offer him a contract to try and raise his price bollocks. Get him out and get another cb

Won't be missed. Stolen a living for 5 years.
he’s a good defender. Injuries impacted him a lot. He can not claim he is a regular starter unless he has a good run without being injured.
No way he is leaving... this must be his agents way of negotiation.
His life is just to good to be true and he want another 5 years of this.
Didn't he just played his 100 game for us? In four years! And the first year he played around 35 games.
Bruno cant be far away from 100 games in a year and a half.
And who will pay let's say 20-25 mil £ and his salary, and only get 20-25 games a year out of him.
Naaa, he gets another 4 years, a small wage increase, and he will be smiling when signing the contract.
I think he is good when he is fit, and hes speed suites partnering Maguire better than Lindelöf in more games than what he plays. But the smartest thing is probably to sell if there really is someone willing to pay what we want for him.

He should be ahead of Lindelof or Maguire but only gets a look in when either is injured or suspended
Are we really sure all this is true? And it's not just another injury?
Eric got the rona.
Talk of him being confirmed positive for COVID.
To be fair if anyone was likely to catch it it's Bailly. Is there any injury the lad hasn't had?
didn’t know a symptom was a pulled hamstring.
New mutation and with Bailly's luck you just know it's possible.
Confirmed as positive for corona by OGS
That should mean his season is over? How long he has left on contract?
Hopefully he can handle a virus better than a cross.
Hope he is well!
Hope he is well!
10 days later, still unavailable. Just when we actually need him. FFS.
I'm not sure what the current protocol is for returning to England after you've tested positive for COVID in another country but the only thing to lament here is pointless international football matches during a global pandemic.
Doubt he would have played anyway, he's going to be shelved now until the summer until he's either sold or signs a new contract.
Very pleased to hear
Yes! The Ivorian Phil Jones is staying.
Extending with Bailly and guaranteeing him more game time. That guarantee/reassurance can only be that they have told him they won’t sign another CB this summer.
A player who has played 62 games in all competitions in the last 4 seasons has secured himself a new long term deal at Manchester United
Sounds about right

Signed his new deal till 2024
Very happy for him.
Club gives a contract to someone chronically injured, I expect absolutely nothing less, absolutely unbelievable. All we ever seem to do is give contracts out far too early, give contracts to people who wildly underperform and aren't worth the wage increase, or give contracts to crocks, it absolutely blows my damn mind.
Good stuff. Has outperformed the regular CB pairing multiple times. Hopefully gets a real chance if the team is picked on merit
How many of those was he available for and not used?
Yes he's had his injury problems in the past but 2 of them were unlucky.
Would you use the same excuse for Luke Shaw? doubt it. Bailly is a good player and still young.
Kicked up a fuss in March and a month later he has a new contract. Nice.
Luke Shaw broke his leg, it's not the same, you afford someone that time to recover.
This has Phil Jones energy all over it, which I was also wildly against.
Great player. If he can manage to overcome all his injuries he for sure is a good asset.
Not surprised. Cheaper to keep a player we already have than it is to sign a replacement.
Does not mean he won't be sold down the line but if he does not stay fit, who will want him?

The defensive Lingard. How many people realise he is older than Lindelof. I don't mind Eric and I hope he stays fit but he is not suddenly going to find another level and he does not improve us at all. The reality is that this is as clear an indication as we have had that despite the press gossip we won't be signing a new CB this summer.
Well so no top class CB incoming this summer. I hope at least we save the money for a CDM and not spend everything on one forward.
