The Ivorian defender is yet to feature for the Red Devils since their victory over the Magpies in early October
Eric Bailly's omission from Manchester United's squad has been as a result of difficult centre-back combinations, according to manager Jose Mourinho.
The 24-year-old's last appearance was against Newcastle United on October 6 when he was replaced in the 19th minute as the Red Devils rallied back to defeat their visitors 3-2 at Old Trafford.
Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof have been regular fixtures in United's defensive set-up and have formed a strong bond that leaves the former Villarreal player struggling for opportunities.
