Former Manchester United centre-back Jaap Stam has asserted Eric Bailly has "got quality" after impressing in his comeback from injury in Monday night's 2-0 Premier League win at Chelsea.
The 25-year old Ivorian was making his first appearance of the season having been out with a knee injury since April 2019 which required surgery.
Bailly put in a composed performance at Stamford Bridge where he won all his aerial challenges and dribbles, blocked three shots and made two clearances and interceptions.

“United played a little bit different to what he’s [Bailly] used to because they normally play four at the back when he’s fit," Stam told 888Sport as quoted in the Daily Express.
