Cavani, Bailly seeking answers from Man Utd boss Solskjaer

Manchester United pair Edinson Cavani and Eric Bailly are concerned over their futures.

The Sun says Uruguay striker Cavani, 34, is keen to stay at Old Trafford next season but has not received any assurances from the Red Devils hierarchy.

While frustrated centre-back Bailly wants 'honesty' from boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over his first-team status.

Cavani, who is considering a return to South America with Boca Juniors in Argentina, wants to know how a new frontman would impact on his role at the Theatre of Dreams. His £9million-a-year contract has a one-year option with both parties able to trigger the extension.

That means Cavani, who has scored seven goals this season, could walk away if he wishes.

Ivory Coast defender Bailly, 26, had told team-mates how he does not believe he is getting equal treatment from the Old Trafford boss.

A dressing room source said: “Eric doesn't feel he has any trust from Ole and he thinks that's unfair.

“He wants the coach to have confidence in him and back him up but he feels he isn't being protected at all and that hurts."
