Manchester United teammates are delighted with the return to full fitness of Eric Bailly.

The Ivorian shone alongside Harry Maguire for Manchester United in the heart of defence during their 1-0 win against Nuno Espirito Santo's side at Old Trafford.

Bailly finished the game with a 100 per cent tackle success rate, 94 per cent passing accuracy, 11 ball recoveries and an impressive four interceptions as he showcased his true worth in defence.

Taking to social media after the match, he posted a picture from the Wolves win along with the caption: "A clean sheet and a victory. Good way to end a year to forget. We are coming for you, 2021."

United teammate Bruno Fernandes commented on the post saying: "My man of the match," followed by a love heart emoji while teammate Juan Mata added: "Y el mio" which translates as "and mine."
