United recognised Bailly as a "popular member" and said, "We will be tracking his progress attentively."

Bailly joined United from Villarreal for £30m in 2016, but he underperformed. Injuries limited him to just 45 Premier League games.

The arrivals of defenders Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez pushed Bailly down the pecking order.
