The Ivory Coast international was expected to be on duty with his country for several more weeks in the African Cup of Nations, but the reigning champions were knocked out at the group stages, meaning the former Villareal defender has returned to his club earlier than expected. Bailly took part in Monday night’s reserve fixture against Everton

His presence will surely strengthen Mourinho’s defensive options, who can now call on Bailly, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo in the centre of defence ahead of a busy period that sees United play seven games in the month of February.

Enjoy that? Give it a share!
