Eric Bailly revels in Manchester United milestone

Eric Bailly is overjoyed after marking his 50th appearance for Manchester United in their 2-1 victory over Chelsea in an English Premier League outing at Old Trafford.

The Cote d'Ivoire international joined the Red Devils in June 2016 from Spanish side Villarreal and has been impressive in the backline of United.

He played a crucial role as they secured their first Europa League title in the 2016-17 season after defeating Ajax in the final game.

This season, though hampered by a groin strain injury, he has managed to help his side keep nine clean sheets in 12 of his appearances so far.
