Defender Eric Bailly will reportedly consider his long-term future at Manchester United should he not earn a recall to the starting lineup.

Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has reportedly suggested that he may reconsider his long-term future at Old Trafford.

Manager Jose Mourinho spent £30m to sign Bailly in 2016 but despite making an impact in his first campaign at United, the centre-back has since dropped out of the starting lineup.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur allegedly hold an interest in the Ivory Coast international, and according to ESPN, Bailly may start to contemplate a fresh start elsewhere.

The report claims sources have indicated that the 24-year-old is prepared to remain with the North-West giants until the end of the season before making a decision.

United are unlikely to be willing to sell to a Premier League rival, but any sale would give Mourinho more funds to bring in a new player for his backline.

Bailly has made just three starts in the top flight during the current campaign.
