Eric Bertrand Bailly (French pronunciation: ​; born 12 April 1994) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays for English Premier League club Manchester United and the Ivory Coast national team. Mainly a central defender, he can also play as a right-back.

Bailly began his professional career at Spain's Espanyol, before transferring to Villarreal. He spent two seasons at the club before signing for Manchester United in June 2016.

He made his international debut for the Ivory Coast in 2015 and helped them win that year's Africa Cup of Nations.

Born in Bingerville, Bailly joined RCD Espanyol's youth system in December 2011, aged 17. Bailly was spotted by Espanyol’s Emilio Montagut after taking part in a youth tournament in Burkina Faso, organised by Spanish company Promoesport. Some records of that time erroneously list his name as Eric Bertrand (his middle name misinterpreted as his paternal surname). He only received a work permit in October of the following year, and made his senior debut in the 2013–14 campaign with the reserves, in Segunda División B.
