Man United VS Hull City: Mourinho Delivers Latest Team News, Says Star Defender Is Fit To Play

Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho delivers the latest Man United team news ahead of Wednesday’s clash with Hull City at the Old Trafford.

The Portuguese boss has confirmed that Ivorian defender Eric Bailly will be fit and available for Manchester United at the Premier League clash.

Bailly has been away on international duty to represent his country at the African Cup of Nations in Gabon. He has however returned back to Carrington after his country’s surprise exit at the group stage.

Though he played for Manchester United’s reserves against Everton on Monday night, coach Jose Mourinho has confirmed on Tuesday that the strong defender would be ready to face Hull on Wednesday night.

Mourinho speaking at his pre-match news conference on Tuesday afternoon, confirmed that Bailly was fit and added that they always play a full-strength team.

“Of course, we had [some] players that didn’t play the last match against Wigan, some players with [a] lot of matches played already – people like Valencia, Ibra, Pogba.

“Some of these players with lot of matches didn’t play, but will play tomorrow.” he said.

Manchester United are still sitting on the sixth position in the Premier League table as they desire to break back into the top four in Jose’s first full season in charge at Old Trafford.

The Old Trafford club will aim to win their first major trophy under the new manager when they play Southampton in the EFL Cup final at Wembley.
