Solskjaer choosing Bailly over any new Man Utd signing

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is ready to stick with Eric Bailly over any new defensive arrival.

Solskjaer is set to shelve plans to sign a central defender in the summer transfer window.

Napoli ace Kalidou Koulibaly is a long-term target, Juventus' Matthijs de Ligt has popped back on the radar after a mixed campaign while RB Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano is the latest to emerge as a potential new arrival.

Bailly's return to form and fitness has seen Solskjaer nix his plot to recruit at the back, according to the Manchester Evening News.

He will battle it out with Victor Lindelof for the role of Harry Maguire's sidekick in front of David De Gea.
