Man Utd boss Mourinho hints at Hamouma blame for Bailly red card

Published on: 23 February 2017

Jose Mourinho believes Eric Bailly may have been harshly done by in Manchester United's win this evening.

The Ivory Coast defender picked up two yellow cards in quick succession for fouls on St Etienne winger Romain Hamouma.

But Mourinho indicated that perhaps the Frenchman made the most of any contact made by Bailly during the second half of United's 1-0 Round of 32 second leg victory.

"Hamouma has good qualities but he enjoyed too much the diving and the simulation, so he gets in these situations," he said.

"Eric can't play the first match of the next round.

"(Marcos) Rojo came in and did well and hopefully (Phil) Jones will be back soon. So one misses, it's an opportunity for another."
