Manchester United’s flamboyant defender Eric Bailly has lived up to his hilarious and light-hearted reputation.
The Ivorian defender was named in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting 11 to take-on AC Milan in Thursday night’s Europa League knockout tie.
Despite the game eventually ending 1-1 after the Rossenari equalised at the death, it’ll be United’s new wonderkid, Amad Diallo, who steals all the back page headlines.
In what was his first senior goal, the Red Devils’ new teenage talent opened the game’s scoring after being on the pitch for just five minutes.
Whilst celebrating his young compatriot’s ‘Chicharito-style’ backwards header, Bailly was spotted putting in a typically hilarious celebration.
You just cannot love the man.
Welcome to Old Trafford, Amad Diallo!
