Manchester United defender Eric Bailly is being linked with Olympique Marseille.

The Ivory Coast international is expected to be encouraged to move on this summer after another injury-plagued season.

French journalist Fabrice Hawkins is reporting OM are watching developments and open to bringing Bailly to France.

OM president Pablo Longoria failed with an attempt to take Bailly on-loan in January and is now following up with a bid to buy him outright.

For his part, Bailly would welcome a move to OM.
