Solskjaer hints at Man Utd start for Bailly against Brighton after Lindelof horror show

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has suggested Eric Bailly could take Victor Lindelof’s place alongside Harry Maguire for Manchester United's meeting with Brighton following the Swede's struggles against Crystal Palace.

The former Benfica centre-back has been a regular fixture in defence for United since he signed but questions have been raised over whether he is good enough to play such a prominent role.

The 26-year-old was arguably at fault for all three of Crystal Palace’s goals at Old Trafford as Solskjaer’s side lost their opening league game of the new campaign.
