Alec Bailly, who played for Manchester United for many years, was often plagued by injuries and seldom performed well despite being 29 years old. This summer, United decided to clean him out and sent him to the Turkish Super League's Batthy Das for free. However, the stalwart left the field with another injury in a recent warm-up match, a move that seems to have been a wise one for United.
Looking back at Alec Bailly's seven-year career at Manchester United, joining for £30 million in 2016, he has been plagued by injuries, recording a whopping 18, despite making 113 appearances for the team. From ankles and knees to muscles and even head, back, shoulders and neck. United released him from his contract this summer and let him go on a free agent transfer to Beasidas, not only avoiding a high transfer fee, but also saving on the wage bill, a decision that kills two birds with one stone.
