PSG join Bailly’s admirers

Manchester United defender, Eric Bailly is in demand following reports Paris Saint-Germain have joined the race for his signature.

Bailly has struggled for first-team action this season and has not played for the Reds since the beginning of October, while he has also been left out of the squad completely for the last three games.

With United boss Jose Mourinho keen to draft in another central defender, Bailly’s days at Old Trafford appear to be numbered, with Tottenham and Arsenal known to be in the hunt.

However, PSG are being credited by some sources as the favourite to sign him with their boss Thomas Tuchel keen to strengthen their central defensive options in January.

It is likely that Manchester United would want to try and recoup the fee paid for him in 2016, and that should not be a problem for the Parisians.

United would use any money raised to help fund a deal for Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld, with reports rife suggesting another attempt will be made to sign him in January.
