AC Milan 'lining up move for Manchester United defender Eric Bailly'

AC Milan are reportedly interested in a January move for out-of-favour Manchester United defender Eric Bailly, who has not featured in any of his side's last four games.

AC Milan are reportedly lining up a January move for out-of-favour Manchester United defender Eric Bailly.

Bailly has not featured for United since being hauled off after just 19 minutes of his side's eventual 3-2 win at home to Newcastle United last month, with the Red Devils 2-0 down at the time.

Jose Mourinho has made no secret of his unhappiness with his centre-back options and is expected to bring in defensive reinforcements during the January window, having failed to do so this summer.

Bailly is understood to be happy at Old Trafford, but ESPN reports that the Ivory Coast international fears he has lost the faith of Mourinho.

A number of Premier League clubs are thought to be tracking the 24-year-old, while Italian giants AC Milan have now also reportedly joined the race for his signature.

Bailly's current contract at Old Trafford expires at the end of next season, and there have been no talks over an extension at this stage.
