Bailly has started the last three matches for United in the absence of MaguireEric Bailly’s mind is clear: he wants to start the Europa League final. Having put the injuries that have hampered him so much since he arrived at Manchester United behind him, the centre back is determined to play against his former club. “Solskjaer hasn’t told us anything yet but I’m in good shape and I hope to start against Villarreal,” he says. SponsoredThe Ivory Coast international, 27, feels he has something to prove after sitting out United’s last European final against Ajax four years ago through suspension. He missed that game because he was sent off in the semi-final after a brawl at Old Trafford involving several Celta Vigo players.
