Mourinho pleased to have more options

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is pleased to have Eric Bailly back in his plans ahead of the Europa League clash with Zorya Luhansk.

The Ivory Coast international suffered a knee injury against Chelsea in October but was an unused substitute in last Sunday's 1-1 draw at Everton. Bailly's return gives the boss another option in the centre of defence, where Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo have combined well of late.

The Reds need a point to guarantee qualification for the knockout stages of the competition, regardless of the result of the other Group A clash between Feyenoord and Fenerbahce.
