# Manchester United: Fans fume as Eric Bailly out of Europa League tie

**Many Manchester United fans have been left to fume as some early team news before their game versus Granada in the UEFA Europa League has emerged.**

Speaking in his pre-game press conference ahead of the match against the La Liga side, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer [confirmed](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1382307100345434113) that Eric Bailly will not be available to play and has thus travelled back to England.

With Harry Maguire suspended for the second leg after picking up a yellow card in the first, it only really leaves the Red Devils with Victor Lindelof and Axel Tuanzebe at the heart of the defence.

Bailly has never been able to run away from his [constant injury problems](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eric-bailly/verletzungen/spieler/286384) while at Old Trafford, and this is yet another setback for the Ivory Coast international in what could have been a match to really stamp his authority with Maguire out.

The update has left several MUFC supporters frustrated and growing impatient with his continued absence.
