Eric Bailly has made just 13 starts for Manchester United in all competitions this season

His camp are also aware of reports new boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to reinforce his options at the heart of the Red Devils’ rearguard in the close season.

However, sources close to Bailly have heard bosses at the Bernabeu have him on a list of first-tier options, having been beaten to the punch by United when he left Spanish side Villarreal back in 2016 for £30m.

Real boss Zinedine Zidane is understood to remain a fan of the player from his previous time in La Liga and Bailly’s name has been put forward to the legendary Frenchman.

Bailly still has 15 months left on his deal at United but talks over an extension have been left on the back burner, which has only added to the Ivory Coast international’s frustration.
