Eric Bailly 'has had enough' at Man Utd after being 'disrespected' by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

All eyes are on the centre-back position at Manchester United in the summer.

The Red Devils are expected to look to strengthen in the transfer market to find Harry Maguire’s long-term partner.

But they might also have to contend with outgoings with reports Eric Bailly has ‘had enough’ at the club.

Bailly, 26, has put in some impressive performances this season and has been a popular member of the squad.

Yet he has experienced an injury-plagued few years since becoming Jose Mourinho’s first signing in a £30million move from Villarreal back in 2016.

Despite his inconsistency, United have reportedly been in talks with Bailly over a contract extension with his current deal due to expire next summer.

According to The Sun, however, Solskjaer’s treatment of Bailly may have led him to decide his future lies elsewhere.

It is claimed that Bailly was left furious with his omission from their Europa League win over AC Milan last week with Victor Lindelof still preferred as the first-choice to partner captain Maguire.

Bailly is said to have told friends he now has no interest in signing a 12-month extension as he does not feel ‘wanted or respected’ by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

A dressing-room source told The Sun: “Eric has had enough now. He simply doesn’t feel wanted or respected by the manager.

“Eric doesn’t believe he gets any answers or explanation about the way he is treated and feels he is the easy option to leave out.

“It’s a real shame because Eric always tells us he loves the club and feels the respect of the fans.

“But it’s got to the point this week where he has to think about his future.”
