Manchester United Transfer News: Jose Mourinho May Reportedly Sell Eric Bailly

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly open to selling star centre-back Eric Bailly this summer if it meant getting his hands on Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld.

The Independent's Miguel Delaney wrote that Mourinho has become frustrated with Bailly and is "fed up at how often he can’t pick" the Ivory Coast international, who has been absent with several injuries this season.

The suggestion of a Bailly departure is sure to be met with derision by many of the club's supporters, who saw him rise to become the club's best central defender in a short space of time after his 2016 arrival.
