Fulham approach Man Utd for Bailly - but forced to wait

Fulham have approached Manchester United for Eric Bailly.

The Ivory Coast defender is up for sale at United after spending last season on-loan with Olympique Marseille.

Bailly's poor fitness record has seen clubs swerve the defender this summer.

However, the Daily Mail says Fulham have lodged an enquiry with United for the centre-half.

Bailly is in talks with United about a contract release, though is demanding he be paid a £600,000 loyalty bonus.
