MANCHESTER UNITED stars went out to an Indian restaurant to celebrate Eric Bailly’s 28th birthday last month.
The Red Devils defender has hardly had a look in this season, but appears to remain popular with his peers.

Bailly and Co dined at ZOUK Tea Bar & Grill in Manchester city centre last night.
Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Bruno Fernandes, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Jadon Sancho, Edinson Cavani, Alex Telles and Juan Mata were all in attendance at the celebratory dinner.
ZOUK specialise in Indian and seafood and are located on Chester Street, just off Oxford Road.
Bailly was the last player to leave the restaurant at around 11:30pm… and he was offered a birthday surprise as he did so.
The star was spotted by a group of teenagers who serenaded him for his birthday as he laughed and smiled.
Bailly has hardly had any opportunities to play for Man United this season.
The Red Devils handed him a new three-year deal last April, but have only handed him seven appearances in all competitions this term.
His most recent outing at club level came on December 30 in the 3-1 win over Burnley.
Bailly subsequently represented his country at the Africa Cup of Nations, before suffering an ankle injury.
He has since returned to fitness, however, and has been an unused substitute twice in recent weeks.
Fans will also have spotted him during the March international break, as he played against France and England.
