MANCHESTER UNITED CENTRE-BACK Eric Bailly looks to have set himself up for, at the very least, a stern telling off by Jose Mourinho after the defender posted an Instagram video of himself and a dancing Juan Mata following the manager’s enforced social media ban.
Mourinho has become incensed by the amount of information being leaked out of the club, especially with regards to players posting videos of themselves during injury recovery sessions.

Luke Shaw drew his boss’ ire last year after sharing an image of himself training away from the squad as he battled with a leg injury, while more recently Chris Smalling filmed himself spending time in a hydrotherapy pool.
Growing tired of increasing numbers of training regimes becoming public knowledge, Mourinho went as far as restricting the use of social media up to 48 hours before games — something Bailly has today fallen foul of given United have a Europa League fixture with Celta Vigo tomorrow.
What will happen to Bailly as a result of his Insta-gaffe remains to be seen, though reporters are sure to ask the Red Devils boss at the earliest opportunity.
The Ivorian, who is currently recovering from an ankle injury, has since deleted the video from his Instagram account but luckily, the clip remains online for all to see.
