Gary Neville hits out at Bailly after howler in Manchester United's win

The Cote d’Ivoire international put the ball in his own net but Jose Mourinho’s men held on to a vital win over the Kops

Gary Neville has described Eric Bailly’s own goal in Manchester United’s 2-1 win over Liverpool as 'messy'.

A first-half brace from Marcus Rashford was enough for the Old Trafford outfit to see off Jurgen Klopp’s men in Saturday’s English Premier League tie.

However, an own goal from Bailly in the second half reduced the deficit for the Reds who suffered their first defeat in six league games.

The 23-year-old defender who returned to the starting XI for the first time since November 5 against Chelsea, saw the howler shadow his fine defensive performances.
