Bailly to sign a contract extension with Manchester United
Having just one year left on his current contract, Eric Bailly has struggled for game time this season as his representatives had been alerted to interest from other clubs.
However, Goal has reported that discussions with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer convinced the Ivorian to sign a new four-year deal with the club as he feels more confident that he will be given a role to play.
Talking about the defender’s situation with the Red Devils, the United boss said: “Yes, we are talking to Eric and Eric’s representatives.
“He is keeping fitter for longer and you can see his performances as well and I have been very happy with him.
“His playing style has sometimes made him lose too many games because, 100 games, that is not enough for the period he has been here. He is getting more and more robust so yes he is one we are talking to.”
Joining United from Villarreal in 2016, the Ivorian signed a contract renewal with the club in January 2020.
However, he has only made 15 appearances for United this season with various injuries as he finds himself behind first-choice pairing Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire.
