Man Utd will trigger an extension clause in Eric Bailly’s contract to stop him leaving on a free

The 80,000-a-week star has played just 50 times for United in three-years after an injury-plagued spell at Old Trafford so far.

But it is understood the Red Devils will take their option up on Bailly for a further year in the coming weeks.

The 25-year-old is out-of-contract next summer, and can start talking to clubs around Europe at the start of the January transfer window.

A United source said: The club have invested a lot of money and time into Eric over the past few years.

We dont want players running down their deals. Eric might see his future differently at the end of the day.

For the next year, at least, we will box him off and see how his playing time fares over the rest of this season.

It is believed his deal can be extended by a second year as well, which was written into the original agreement.
