Eric Bailly Wants Assurances Over His Playing Time

It is believed that the defender wants assurances over his playing time before putting pen to paper on a new contract at Old Trafford.

United say that Bailly is keen to stay at the club past next summer, when his contract expires, but the player is concerned at his chances of regular games, especially if they are to sign a new centre-back.

The Ivory Coast defender signed for United in 2016 from Villareal and due to various injuries has been restricted to only 100 games.

If you were Solskjaer, would you sell or keep Eric Bailly?

The Sun have reported that Bailly will refuse a new contract offer and plans to sign for AC Milan, it remains to be seen how much truth is in this. 

Talks over a new deal for Eric Bailly at Manchester United looked to have found an agreement earlier this month, however not featuring against AC Milan in last week’s away win was seemingly the last straw in convincing Bailly that his future lies elsewhere. #MUFC [Sky]

What do you think Manchester United fans? Do you want Eric Bailly to stay at Old Trafford or should United be looking to strengthen their back 4 over the summer Transfer Window.
