Once again left out of the Manchester United squad at the weekend, Eric Bailly is starting to get really frustrated with his Old Trafford situation.

The Ivory Coast international, who used to be quite a regular feature under José Mourinho, has found himself completely shunned to one side, with Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelöf the new mainstays at the heart of the Red Devils’ defence.

This has caused him to question his future at the club, as Sportmania in his home country claim the 24-year-old is ‘ready to negotiate’ an exit in January.

The article dates back to last week, but the information remains relevant, as they claim a meeting is scheduled between the player and Manchester United this week for a ‘candid talk’.

However, their prediction is that ‘common ground’ won’t be found, as his relationship with José Mourinho is anything but ‘smooth sailing’.

These are becoming desperate times for the young defender, who has allegedly attracted interest from a handful of other clubs, including Spurs.
