Valencia head coach Marcelino has been complimentary of Manchester United's Eric Bailly.
The Ivory Coast international has fallen down the pecking order after such a bright start to life at Old Trafford following his move from a Villarreal side managed by current Valencia coach Marcelino in 2016.
Despite this, his former boss expects him to return to his best. "I was so lucky to have Eric as a footballer, as a player," Marcelino told reporters.
"He's an extraordinary player and an extraordinary person.
"I'm so sorry for his injuries, because I know his performances are conditioned by this. I know he is having a hard time and suffering when trying to have a stable rhythm in the team.
"I wish nothing but the best for him and I feel his youth will help him through these hard times and he will be very important for United.
"I think he's playing really well for United when he plays, but because of his injuries he's not getting the luck he deserves."
