The Ivory Coast international had an injury-laden 2019 which saw him feature in just 7 games for the Red Devils.
He was sidelined with a medial ligament injury last April and missed the remainder of the season. Bailly returned in time for United's pre-season tour but suffered another injury in a game against Tottenham Hotspur, resulting in him missing the first half of the 2019-20 season.

Bailly's return to the pitch will be a huge boost to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, who are stepping up their pursuit of a top-four finish. United play seven games across all competitions in January and the 25-year-old, who has begun his recovery process, will be a key player for the Red Devils.
Bailly will be expected to provide stiff competition to the likes of Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire for a spot in the starting lineup.
