​West Ham join Monaco, Marseille in battle for Man Utd defender Bailly

Manchester United are receiving plenty of interest in Eric Bailly this summer.

The Ivory Coast international is fifth choice at United behind Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, and Victor Lindelof.

Bailly wants regular first-team football and must leave Old Trafford to get it.

According to The Athletic, United want to move on Bailly permanently rather than on loan.

The club are speaking with West Ham, Marseille and Monaco about the 28-year-old.

Bailly has been with United since 2016, when he signed under then boss Jose Mourinho.
