Manchester United defender Eric Bailly believes that he has improved tactically and physically during his debut campaign with the club.

Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has said that he has improved during his solitary season with the club so far.

The 23-year-old arrived at Old Trafford last summer as one of Jose Mourinho's first signings at the club and went on to make 38 appearances across all competitions during his debut campaign.

During that time he helped the side to the EFL Cup and Europa League trophies, albeit missing the final in the latter due to suspension, and he is hoping to continue his improvement next season too.

"In my time at United and with the help of the manager, I have improved. One thing I have learned is to improve on my tactical play, my physical play has changed too and I hope to continue to improve," he told MUTV.

Bailly will be suspended for United's European Super Cup clash with Real Madrid next month, meaning that his first competitive appearance of the season could come against West Ham United on the opening weekend of the Premier League.
