AC Milan are interested in Manchester United defender Eric Bailly.

Sky Italia says Milan are in the market for a new centre-half after losing Simon Kjaer for the season due to knee surgery.

Among prospects being considered is Bailly, who is currently away at AFCON with Ivory Coast.

The 27-year-old has a contract with United which extends until the summer of 2024.

Bailly is in his fifth year as a United player.
