French champions Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing Manchester United defender Eric Bailly.

The Ivory Coast international has fallen out of United’s perking order at Old Trafford and is frustrated with his lack of game time.

The 24-year-old was one of Jose Mourinho’s first summer signings from Villarreal when he took over at the elms of affairs with the Manchester club in 2016.

Two of the biggest London clubs Tottenham and Arsenal are also queuing up for a possible move for struggling defender.

Bailly has fallen out of favour as Mourinho is set to sign a new center-back in the January window but the Portuguese manager also believes he could improve.

It is understood Mourinho would prefer to sacrifice other defenders to help balance the books if necessary but there has been limited interest.

Marcos Rojo is yet to regain full fitness and remains an option for Everton while Phil Jones has also been hit by a number of recurring injuries.
