Manchester United considering offers from Marseille and Monaco for Eric Bailly... with full-back Ethan Laird set to join QPR on loan after they beat Watford to his signature

Manchester United are considering offers from Marseille and Monaco for defender Eric Bailly.

Enquiries from West Ham, Fulham, Sevilla, AC Milan and Roma had focused on loan deals but Marseille are willing to sign the 28-year-old on a permanent deal.

The 28-year-old, who joined Manchester United for £30million in 2016, is seen as the ideal addition for the Ligue 1 sides as they look to strengthen their back line this summer.
