September 19, 2022

According to a report by French publication L’Equipe, Ligue 1 giants AS Monaco are interested in signing Ivorian centre-back Eric Bailly from Manchester United.

Eric Bailly moved to Manchester United from Villarreal in 2016, but except for his first season in England, he has largely been used off the bench. Recurring injury issues have not helped his case either, with the likes of Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane, all above the Ivory Coast international in the pecking order.

Manchester United have also signed Ajax centre-back Lisandro Martinez this summer, who debuted for the Red Devils in their opening day 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League. This has left Bailly as possibly the fifth-choice centre-back at Erik ten Hag’s disposal.

Many people who have given an insight into United’s fall from the top have stated that their struggle to reclaim their place in the power rankings in the Premier League is because they have not been lucky with prolific goalscorer that can promise at least 20 goals every season.
