He has enjoyed a mini-resurgence of late, scoring an injury-time equaliser against La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

Phil Jones was named on Uniteds bench ahead of Bailly in their goalless draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday, which proves how far the Ivorian has fallen.Arsenal and Tottenham are rumoured to be keen on Bailly, whose Old Trafford days look numbered.
