Manchester United are preparing to hand defender Eric Bailly a new contract.

The 25-year-old last featured for the Red Devils in April 2019 against Chelsea and a serious knee injury has kept him sidelined ever since.

The Ivory Coast international's contract is set to expire in June 2020 and he'd be free to leave Old Trafford.

However, The Sun says United will exercise their option to extending Bailly's contract for another 12 months.
