While Eric Bailly has been plagued by injury problems during his six years at Manchester United, he’s still been able to provide plenty of entertainment.
Despite making just 70 Premier League appearances for the club, Bailly has become something of a cult hero at Old Trafford by delighting fans with his eccentric personality.
“The funniest [team-mate]? I think it’s Bailly,” United midfielder Paul Pogba told Copa 90 in 2017. “He doesn’t even want to be funny but he’s just funny.”
We’ve collected 18 of his funniest and most wonderful moments on and off the pitch since joining United in 2016.
The charge
United have a new manager in Erik ten Hag and Bailly used his first pre-season game to impress… by doing a stepover then making a 90-yard run into the box.

Celebration
It’s fair to say Bailly enjoyed United’s late winner against Hull in 2016.

Romelu Lukaku
But Ibrahimovic isn’t the only former United striker that Bailly has tried to wind up.
