His current standing in the United pecking order was made clear in midweek, with the Ivorian left out of the side, despite Rangnick lining up with three central defenders. Along with first-choice pairing Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire; Victor Lindelof and Phil Jones have both moved above him when it comes to featuring during the Premier League run-in.

And ahead of the Arsenal clash on Saturday, the central defender has incurred the wrath of Rangnick after appearing to voice his displeasure regarding his current situation. The message came after United’s official account posted several training ground pictures ahead of the game in north London.

One fan then responded to the training ground pictures with the comment "start bailly x Varane". Bailly was delighted to see that support and replied by writing "please!" along with the laughing emoji and a pair of praying hands.
