Eric Bailly
Ralf Rangnick interested to become Manchester United manager
Pressure is back on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Manchester United’s 2-0 loss against Manchester City on Saturday. The Old Trafford match looked completely one-sided as Eric Bailly conceded an own goal before Bernardo Silva added another to make it a comfortable victory for City. The 48-year-old’s position at Old Trafford has been uncertain since their 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool last month. The Norwegian boss led his side to a 3-0 victory over Tottenham last weekend before being held to a 2-2 draw by Atalanta in the Champions League. Now Solskjaer is under intense scrutiny again after Saturday’s humiliating home defeat against Pep Guardiola’s side. The Red Devils have now been dropped to fifth in the Premier League table and are currently nine point...
‘Happy’, ‘Time will tell’: Some Man United fans react to fresh update on 27-year-old star
Eric Bailly has ended speculation regarding his future by putting pen-to-paper on a fresh three-year contract with the option for another 12 months. The centre-back has been with the Red Devils since 2016 but has made just 100 appearances in all competitions due to multiple injury setbacks. It was recently claimed that Bailly could refuse a new deal with the Red Devils as he does not want to act as the back-up to Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire. However, this has been proved false, with the club confirming that he has signed a new contract until June 2024, which can be extended for another year. Here are a few reactions on Twitter from United fans. I love Bailly but we should’ve sold him — Vats🔰 (@UtdVats) April 26, 2021 I really like Bailly when he’s fit & availa...

Manchester United star ‘does not feel wanted’ by Solskjaer, plans to reject new contract
Manchester United Eric Bailly is prepared to snub a contract extension with the Red Devils after being left out of the second leg of the Europa League last 16 tie against AC Milan, The Sun reports. The Ivorian has played second fiddle to Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire for the central defensive duties in the Premier League but has regularly started ahead of the former in the Europa League this year.

Super Eagles star helps Villarreal extend unbeaten run vs Cadiz
Samuel Chukwueze was in action as Villarreal played out a 0-0 draw against Cadiz in Sunday’s La Liga game. The 21-year-old has featured consistently for Unai Emery’s men in the 2020-21 campaign and against Alvaro Cervera’s charges, the winger was handed his seventh league appearance. The Nigeria international gave a good account of himself during the time he spent on the pitch to help the Yellow Submarine extend their unbeaten run to five games across all competitions.
