Fulham have made a bid for Manchester United defender Eric Bailly.

Bailly is one of a number of defenders the Cottagers have been linked to, and they have now reportedly made an official move for him.

The newly-promoted Premier League club are looking for reinforcements at the back ahead of the new season.

Freelance journalist Pete O'Rourke tweeted: "Fulham have an offer on the table for Manchester United defender Eric Bailly, but face a fight to persuade him to move to Craven Cottage.

"Sevilla and Roma are also both chasing Bailly who could be allowed to leave Old Trafford."
