Harrison has been a virtual ever present in Bielsa's Whites team but the Manchester City loanee has been taken off at the break during two of United's last three Premier League games.

The 24-year-old was substituted as part of a double change that also saw Mateusz Klich taken off at the half-time interval of the 4-2 loss at Arsenal as Helder Costa and Tyler Roberts came on.

Harrison then played 81 minutes of the 1-0 loss at Wolves but the winger was again taken off at half-time of Tuesday night's 3-0 triumph at home to Southampton as Costa was again introduced.

Asked about Harrison's form and how he managed the winger and whether he spoke to him personally or if Harrison would work things out himself, Bielsa said: "Harrison is a very strong player mentally.

"He is a very dedicated professional.

"And on occasion, like with all players, I maintain a dialogue with him when I see fit."
