Eric Bailly: Roma boss Jose Mourinho interested in reunion with Manchester United defender | Football News

Roma head coach Jose Mourinho wants to be reunited with Eric Bailly with the Serie A club interested in signing the Manchester United defender.

Bailly was Mourinho’s first signing at Manchester United in the summer of 2016 when he arrived from Villarreal for £30m.

While his plan is to fight for his place at United, it is thought Bailly will speak to manager Erik ten Hag about his potential game time.

If he feels his action will be limited, he would welcome the chance to speak to his former boss Mourinho if a suitable offer is made.

AC Milan are also interested in the Ivory Coast international, who has made 113 appearances during his time at Old Trafford.

Fulham were keen on the 28-year-old earlier this window.
