In my case a ternary operator worked for me.

<select class="form-control" name="gender">
    <option value="male" {{old('gender') == 'male' ? "selected" : ""}}>Male</option>
    <option value="female" {{old('gender') == 'female' ? "selected" : "" }}>Female</option>
</select>

Please be mindful of the double quotes "" around your selected attributes because single quotes will never work.

Try This:

   <label for="name">Tags</label>
   <select name="tags[]" class="form-control select-tag" multiple>
              @foreach($tags as $tag)
   <option value="{{$tag->id}}" {{in_array($tag->id, old("tags") ?: []) ? "selected": ""}}>{{$tag->name}}</option>
              @endforeach
   </select>
