Bailly was hauled off at half-time in Sunday&#8217;s 3-2 loss at Antalyaspor after an on-field row with a team-mate seemingly escalated in the dressing room.<\/p>\n<p>United struggled to offload Bailly in the summer transfer window, ultimately agreeing to his free departure so he could join Besiktas on a one-year contract.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old was Jose Mourinho&#8217;s first signing at Old Trafford in 2016 but made just 116 appearances across seven years due to frustrating injury woes.<\/p>\n<p>Bailly would have hoped a switch to Istanbul could reignite his career following an underwhelming loan spell at Marseille last season.<\/p>\n<p>But the manager who signed him, Senol Gones, resigned last month after Bailly&#8217;s own goal proved decisive in a 3-2 defeat to Lugano in the Europa Conference League.<\/p>\n<p>Burak Yilmaz has taken interim charge but hasn&#8217;t managed to improve Besiktas&#8217; woeful season so far, sitting fifth in the Turkish Super Lig, 12 points off leaders Galatasaray.<\/p>\n<p>Besiktas are also rock bottom of Group D in the Europa Conference League, winning none of their three games so far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click <\/strong><strong>here<\/strong><strong> to join our Man Utd WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Red Devils news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Rasmus Hojlund strop highlights major Man Utd issue that \u2018made players cry\u2019[COMMENT] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Besiktas-boss-Burak-Yilmaz-fumed-at-full-time-5051206.jpg?r=1699257369570\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &amp; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>And Bailly was at the centre of their continued dismay on Sunday when Antalyaspor ran out 3-2 winners at the Antalya Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Besiktas actually led at the break through Cenk Tosun&#8217;s stoppage-time strike, but tempers flared on the pitch as Bailly was captured in a heated exchange with team-mate Tayfur Bingol.<\/p>\n<p>Yilmaz&#8217;s side collapsed in the second half, conceding three times in the opening 12 minutes while Bailly watched from the bench after being substituted due to an &#8216;inappropriate&#8217; incident.<\/p>\n<p>Yilmaz told t24: &#8220;There was a problem with Eric Bailly during the half-time.
