OFFICIAL: Eric Bailly joins Marseille on loan

Manutd.com 

 side will pay the entirety of his wages during the loan spell.

There is also an obligation to buy clause included in the deal, meaning Marseille will have to sign him for €6 million next year.

This clause can be activated if he helps them qualify for the 2023/24 

 campaign and makes a set number of appearances.

Bailly leaves Old Trafford after 7 years with the club in which he made 113 appearances for the Red Devils. Good luck, Eric!

Eric Bailly touches down in France ahead of Marseille medical

 defender has said his goodbyes to the team, as per Fabrizio Romano, and is set to undergo his medical later this Wednesday. 

Bailly is joining Marseille on a season-long loan deal with the option to make it a permanent transfer. 

The Ivorian has struggled to establish himself as a starter at United since being signed by Jose Mourinho. 

At Marseille, Bailly will get a much-needed second chance to revive his career. 

'Maguire did more in two years than Bailly in six':  United fans want Bailly sold, some for as low as £15m

 is reportedly one of the players who could be sold by 

While there is a section of fans who believe Bailly is a solid defender, there are others who feel he's not up to the mark. 

Over the past season, every single United defender came in for harsh criticism and that includes 

However, Maguire has proven to be more reliable and consistent than the injury-prone (and error-prone) Bailly - and fans agree. Take a look at what they said on RedCafe: 

"His mad s**t will cost you at least one goal a game, and that’s when he’s not injured or posting stupid s**t on social media about not playing." 

 "If we get anywhere close to 15m for him , it's a steal. We just signed a CB and that position is already crowded. He had a good pre-season tour, sell now while atleast someone wants him." 

 "I like him but Bailly is expendable, as we have too many CBs and one more coming in who we must expect to start. Prefer to sell, but Ill take wages off the books and one less unhappy person in the dressing room." 

 "Bailly is a monster in one breath, a liability the next. In a tight defensive minded structured team he will get away with it, which is why under Jose Mourinho his stats will be really good, yet in an attacking more expansive team he won't get away with it." 

 "Hope we don't get fooled by his pre-season performances and just get rid already." 

 "Maguire did more for this club between 2019 and 2021 than Bailly in 6 years. Rest."

It’s not like offers came in for Jones and Maguire and it was turned down you know. You can only sell players when there’s actually a buyer available.

Sardauna Philips

What’s wrong? he was complete wank!! Yes Jones and Maguire are poor but this bloke was on another level, you should be happy we’re having a clear out!!

Deano1980

yeah bro what is Jones doing there, completely waste of money

Mohamed Bockarie

Say it again and again and again and again

kibarat 

I agree with you bro, Maguire who cannot jump without holding an opponent is staying putt at United whiles Bailly leaves, is it Maguire is an English, Phil Jones is another dead horse, but because he is an English, he is preferred to Eric Bailly, Eric Bailly is by far the best defender between the three, he is allowed to join Marselle on loan, hmmm, good luck Eric

Dominic Tandoh

@Sardauna, you're spot on, unfortunately these guys don't seem to know how transfers work. They've been trying to get rid of Jones for the last 3 years but unfortunately no takers and no one's gonna take Maguire at the hefty price we'd be looking to recoup

Stu G'Doo

wow I didn't know Jones z better than Bailly. Maguire agreed, but Jones has  British passport, nothing more.
truth he has gone so bad nobody wants him except Ole off cause, n rumours about Wazza at DC utd.
the guyz a lord of all negative stats. 🤣🤣🤣

Bruno F 188

Because he’s British??? Yeah that’s the reason he’s still at united???FFS! 🤣🤣😀 I think it’s time for a break again from this fucking app!!!!

How can I explain this to my children 😔 😪 Manchester united board loan 🤔 Eric Bailey 🤔🤔🤔 why uncle Maguire and nephew Jones still in Manchester united color

manchesterfan1657940789763155814

No one’s saying Maguire or Jones are better, all 3 need to go! Just because you think he’s better doesn’t mean we should keep him!! He’s the easiest to get rid of, great move, get him off the books ASAP………
