Eric Bailly believes boss Jose Mourinho's criticism of Manchester United players is essential if the team is to reach its potential.

"Most of the players in Manchester United are young - we are here to learn," the 22-year-old defender said.

"We have a great future ahead of us so it is important to listen to the coach's advice but also the critics.

"Every player should receive some criticism because we aren't perfect, so we have to accept the criticism from the coach and keep on working because the most important thing is to work and improve and gather experience.

"For me, this coach is very important for us and for every young player at Manchester United."
