Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho waiting on fitness of Eric Bailly

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has suggested that he will make a last-minute decision on whether Eric Bailly will be in the squad for the Premier League game with Tottenham Hotspur.

Bailly has been absent for the last four games, but Mourinho has revealed that he hopes to have the Ivorian back for the lunchtime kickoff with Spurs, as well as confirming that Phil Jones is likely to start the fixture at Old Trafford.

The 54-year-old told reporters: "Jones is good, he was on the bench on Tuesday, no need to play, but he was ready - so he is really ready.

"Eric - let's see, [he'll have] one more training session, but he is the only one that I hope from the injured group that can be ready for tomorrow."

United are looking to move to within two points of Manchester City after failing to win either of their last two league games.
