According to reports from the Metro, Eric Bailly could be on his way out of Old Trafford if Manchester United receive the right offer for him in the summer.
The Ivorian joined United in 2016 as Jose Mourinho's first signing at the club. However, following an impressive debut season, the 25-year-old has seen his stakes falling down due to a series of injuries coupled with a loss of form.
The Red Devils are eager to recoup the £30m they paid to sign him from Villareal and Arsenal are reportedly interested in offering Bailly an escape route out of Old Trafford. The Gunners view him as the perfect successor for Laurent Koscielny, who is set to leave in 2020.

If reports from the Spanish outlet AS via the Mirror are to be believed, Manchester United have contacted Real Madrid over the possibility of signing Marcos Llorente in the summer. However, the Red Devils are also set to face stiff competition from Arsenal for the midfielder's signature.
According to the reports, Real Madrid are ready to let Llorente go only if either of the clubs agree to include a buy-back clause in the deal. The 24-year-old could be available for £14m.
Both United and Arsenal could also face competition from the likes of Sevilla, AS Roma and Atletico Madrid for the Spaniard.
