Eric Bailly says his time at Man Utd was best under "demanding" Jose Mourinho

Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has claimed that his best time as a Red Devil came under the stewardship of the maligned Jose Mourinho.

The centre-back - who currently finds himself out on loan with French giants Marseille - arrived at Old Trafford during the Portuguese’s first summer in charge in a £30m switch from Spanish side Villarreal.

The 28-year-old immediately became first choice at the club in an impressive debut campaign that saw the Red Devils lift the Europa League and the League Cup. However, a succession of injuries saw Bailly fall rapidly down the pecking order. Mourinho was sacked only a few years later with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick and now Erik ten Hag taking the reins.
