Eric Bailly has signed a new contract at Manchester United that will see his time at Old Trafford run until at least 2024.
The 27-year-old's existing 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, Bailly has received sufficient reassurances over his playing time and has agreed a new deal at United running until 2024, with the option of a further year.

The reported deal could see Bailly stay at Old Trafford for another four years should the extension be agreed.
