(Reuters) - Manchester United defender Eric Bailly will undergo ankle surgery and could be sidelined for up to three months, manager Jose Mourinho said on Friday. The Ivory Coast centre back, who has made eight league appearances for United this season, has not played since the 1-0 loss to Chelsea at the start of November. I don't say (he's out) for the rest of the season but it's for the next two or three months," Mourinho told MUTV. Mourinho said he was not thinking about bringing in new players in the January transfer window to bolster his squad unless a transfer target becomes available. "I'm not a big defender of the January market," Mourinho told a news conference on Friday.
