Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has revealed he doesn't know whether Eric Bailly is ready for the Red Devils' first team yet.
The Ivorian was Mourinho's first signing after succeeding Louis van Gaal as manager at Old Trafford.
He made 35 appearances in all competitions for Villarreal last season, scoring one goal from defence.

"I could compare him with some players I had previously, but I don’t want to," Mourinho told MUTV.
