Manchester United defender Eric Bailly and Serge Aurier fly home from Ivory Coast duty as Tottenham new boy says he snubbed PSG contract as he was 'not respected at my fair value'

Ivory Coast duo Eric Bailly and Serge Aurier have flown back to England together ahead of the return of the Premier League action.

Tottenham new boy Aurier and United defender Bailly have made the long journey back following their World Cup qualifying duties with Ivory Coast.

The Ivorians came up against Gabon in two World Cup qualifiers during the international break, winning the first game 3-0 but losing the second 2-1.
