Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester United defender, Eric Bailly, has decided against leaving the club to join Fulham this summer.<\/p>\n

Fulham have approached Man United about Bailly\u2019s availability, with the newly-promoted Premier League club interested in a season-long loan with the option to buy.<\/p>\n

According to Sky Sports News, the Ivory Coast international is not interested in going anywhere at the moment.<\/p>\n

Bailly would prefer to stay at Old Trafford to fight for his place under new Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Man United are open to doing business on Bailly, but would prefer a sale or at least a loan with an obligation to buy.<\/p>\n

Bailly signed a contract extension last year and is due to remain at Man United until 2024.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old joined Manchester United from Villarreal a few years ago.<\/p>\n
