Eric Bailly is reportedly closing in on agreeing a contract extension at Manchester United to keep him at Old Trafford for another four years.
The defender's current contract has just over a year to run, and with the club looking to sign another centre back this summer and Bailly's first-team opportunities already increasingly limited, a departure at the end of the season seemed likely.
However, according to ESPN, progress was made in negotiations between United and the 27-year-old last week, with Bailly satisfied that he will get enough minutes should he stay fit.
