Eric Bailly is set to leave Manchester United during this summer's transfer window, according to a report.

Eric Bailly is reportedly heading for the exit door at Manchester United this summer.

The 28-year-old has only made seven appearances for the 20-time English champions during the 2021-22 campaign, with just four of those outings coming in the Premier League.

Bailly has not even been in the squad for Man United's last two Premier League matches despite being available, with his last outing in England's top flight coming at the end of December.

The Red Devils handed the Ivory Coast international a new contract last April, which is due to run until June 2024, with the option of a further 12 months.

However, according to the Manchester Evening News, the central defender is set to leave the club during this summer's transfer window in search of pastures new.

Bailly, who has struggled with a number of injury problems during his time at Old Trafford, has made 113 appearances for Man United since arriving from Villarreal in July 2016.

Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe could also both leave the club permanently this summer, with at least one new centre-back likely to arrive ahead of next season.
