Eric Bailly has penned a new contract with Manchester United which will keep him at the club until 2024.

The 27-year-old has struggled for playing time this season as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has preferred Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire as his centre-back pairing.

But with just one year left on his contract, and clubs circling for his signature, Bailly has decided to commit his future to the Red Devils.

"I'm very happy," Bailly told the club's official website. "This decision is something I didn't have to think about, I love this club and I love playing for Manchester United. I'm happy and so are my family, everything is good.

"Now the moment with my injury has passed and I'm fit and feel good, and that's it. A new contract is like a new challenge and I'm ready for this. For me, it's the dream to be here. Now it's my fifth season and I hope to be here a long time.

"We are in a good position. We have the Europa League and we are second in the league and that is very good. We hope we can win this trophy [Europa League] – it is very important for us and for the fans and for the season. We want to finish well in the Premier League as well, I'm sure we will."
