Manchester United star Eric Bailly "mentally ready" for Champions League debut

Manchester United defender Eric Bailly says that he is "mentally ready" to make his Champions League debut in this evening's clash against CSKA Moscow in Russia.

Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has claimed that this evening's match against CSKA Moscow will be extra special for him as it will mark his Champions League debut.

The Ivory Coast international is expected to be named in Jose Mourinho's team after missing their opening 3-0 win over Basel due to suspension.

"For me, it is very, very important because I've always dreamed of playing in the Champions League but I have only made the Europa League until now," Bailly told MUTV.

"My dream of the Champions League is about to come true. I am happy and I am mentally ready for the game."

The Red Devils currently sit at the top of Group A, level on points with CSKA heading into this evening's game in Russia.
