The young 23-year old Manchester United defender from Ivory Coast has not been seen on the pitch for a while despite being the best defender in the United team. He got injured in mid November during the international break. He has not been playing since but he'll maybe play against Sevilla on February 20th in the Champions League. Bailly was bought by Manchester United from Villarreal in 2016 by Mourinho. He was doing a very good job in Spain before he was bought and he has been doing a very good job in the Manchester team. He doesn´t play now because of an ankle injury. He is a strong player so he won´t be a baby about it and will try to grow up and play on February 20th.
Mourinho has nothing to say about Eric's injury and can´t tell if he´ll come back before the 20th of February. Mourinho also can´t talk about the injury of Bailly's team mates, Zlatan and Fellaini, during a 2-0 loss against Tottenham. There are some stories about the United team starting to lose and not play as good after Eric's injury. Maybe Pogba as well but both are important. The manager is not happy when players go play for their international team and get injured. The manager says that he wants to change the break and let it be less and longer not so often. Mourinho saw a potential in Bailly and he was right because he is one of the best defenders in the Premier League. He is also one of the strongest too. He is a very good defender but not the smartest. He is crazy with the ball and thats what we love about him.
Hopefully Bailly will have good health before the Sevilla game and will help United win the Champions League.
