Manchester United defender Eric Bailly will be out until the end of the year after suffering a knee injury.

The 25-year-old got injured during his team’s 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur in the International Champions Cup (ICC) last week.

He’s had successful surgery but won't be able to play for four to five months.

United's last pre-season game is against AC Milan on Saturday in the ICC, before facing Chelsea in their Premier League opener on August 11.
