Manchester United boss Solskjaer slams Bailly’s rash tackle on Ryan Fraser

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has slammed Eric Bailly’s tackle in their 4-1 victory over Bournemouth in Sunday’s Premier League game.

The 24-year-old who made his eighth league appearance in the tie was sent off by referee Lee Mason in the 79th minute after a two-footed tackle on Ryan Fraser.

The dismissal of the defender forced the Norwegian tactician to introduce Phil Jones after withdrawing Anthony Martial and he is displeased with the ‘rash challenge’ from the former Villarreal man.

“Eric [Bailly] knows it is a rash challenge, he doesn’t have to do it. Just stay on your feet,” Solskjaer said.
