Man Utd legend Scholes: I love nasty Bailly

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes admits he's a big fan of Eric Bailly.

Bailly and co. beat Zorya Luhansk 2-0 in the Europa League with Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic netting for United.

Despite Scholes admitting the defender should have seen red, the United legend revealed he liked Bailly's nastiness.

"10 minutes before his tackle he was smashed by somebody," Scholes told BT Sport.

"He made a bad tackle before that to pick up his first yellow card and he was after revenge.

"He needs to be cuter.

"I quite like a bit of nastiness and getting somebody back.

"I'm sure the referee has seen it. I'm not sure why he hasn't sent him off. He's bottled it."
