Eric Bailly and Paul Pogba are closing in on a return to action for Manchester United, sources have told ESPN FC.
Ivory Coast international Bailly has not played since damaging knee ligaments during a preseason friendly against Tottenham in Shanghai in July. Pogba, meanwhile, has not played since picking up an injury in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Sept. 30.
After undergoing surgery and months of rehabilitation, Bailly -- whose contract will expire in the summer if United do not trigger a two-year extension option -- is able to walk without the use of crutches and is targeting a return to light training after the international break.
