Manchester United defender Eric Bailly is set to leave the club after many years on the sidelines.

Bailly, who plays for the Ivory Coast, has been in and out of the United team for the past five years.

With injury struggles, the 29-year-old is not in the plans of coach Erik ten Hag for this season.

Having failed to impress during a loan spell at Marseille last term, Bailly did not impress there either.

Now The Mail states that he is close to signing for Besiktas in Turkey after seven years at United.

Bailly will be hoping he can play regularly and resurrect what remains of his career.
