move specialist Fabrizio Romano exclusively revealed to GIVEMESPORT that Manchester United has made it “very clear” to Eric Bailly and Alex Telles that they will both be available for move from Old Trafford this summer.
The Red Devils’ tandem doesn’t appear to be on Erik ten Hag’s radar for the next season.
Eric Bailly and Alex Telles have been forgotten about at Manchester United this season after being sent to Sevilla and Marseille, respectively, on loans.
Patrice Beaumelle, the manager of the Ivory Coast, has called the former’s time in France “a mess” since he was in and out due to injuries and suspensions.
It’s a disaster. He is still, and always will be, one of the finest defenders I have ever met. He was unable to continue because of pain in his hamstrings, according to Beaumelle, speaking to Africa Foot United (via Manchester Evening News).
Telles’ future also appears to be questionable since he is scheduled to return to Old Trafford after his stint at Sevilla.
Dean Jones, a journalist, recently told GIVEMESPORT that because Bailly, Telles, and Brandon Williams are only “passengers” at the club, they need to be offloaded this summer.
And according to Romano, Bailly and Telles, who make a combined £200,000 a week, will be “available on the market” when the transfer window opens.
What has Romano said regarding the futures of Bailly and Telles at Manchester United?
According to Romano, “They have been extremely transparent. They are aware that Marseille will not activate the Eric Bailly signing clause. He will thus go back to the club. The same holds true for Sevilla and Alex Telles. Both players will come back, but they will be on the market.
Who else may Manchester United try to get rid of this summer?
Prior to the summer transfer window, ten Hag is expected to want reinforcements, thus the Dutchman may have picked a few team members to leave to make room for newcomers.
Centre-backs After failing to establish themselves as regular starts this season ahead of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof must make decisions about their futures at Old Trafford.
Another two prominent players in the senior squad, Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial, may end their stays in Manchester this summer since they both struggle to get first-team playing.
As a result, ten Hag has a number of players on his roster who might provide a substantial revenue flow in front of what could be a crowded Old Trafford market.
