After last night’s victory, Jose Mourinho revealed he was concerned Bailly could be set for another long period on the treatment table.
The United boss said: "He had an injury in the right knee and he recovered fantastically well. Now it is the left knee.
"I don’t know really what he has, but let us see and wait. He could resist for so long.
“I would say for about 75 minutes he could resist. He is a special guy and his pain level is really high."
Bailly could now return to face West Brom on Saturday.
