Solskjaer confirms contract talks with Bailly

The Ivory Coast international joined the club from Villarreal during the summer of 2016 and in January 2020 his deal was extended, keeping him at Old Trafford until the end of 2021/22 at least.

An obvious talent and popular figure, Bailly has performed excellently this season and appears to have overcome the persistent injury problems that have plagued his career at United so far.

Eric made his 100th Reds appearance during Thursday night’s Europa League last-16 first leg against AC Milan at Old Trafford. That outing made him the 218th player to appear in a century of games and propelled him above CarlosTevez (99 games) in the all-time list.
