Man United face making a £28MILLION loss on Eric Bailly after poor loan spell with Marseille… as Real Betis show interest in reviving the defender’s career

Manchester United want just £2m for Eric Bailly with La Liga side Real Betis showing interest in purchasing the injury-prone Ivorian.

The 29-year-old spent last season on-loan at Marseille but featured only 17 times for the French side after struggling with injuries and serving a seven-game suspension for a tackle which hospitalised Hyeres' Almike Moussa N'Diaye.

With Marseille opting to field the defender two games shy of the number that would have obligated a permanent signing, a return to La Liga appears to be his best chance of getting top level football next season.
