Manchester United centre-back Eric Bailly wants talks with head coach Jose Mourinho over his future at the club, according to a report.

Manchester United centre-back Eric Bailly will reportedly seek talks with head coach Jose Mourinho over his future with the 20-time English champions.

Bailly started United's first two Premier League matches of the 2018-19 campaign, but was dropped following a disappointing performance against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Victor Lindelof started alongside Chris Smalling against Burnley last time out, and according to Metro, Bailly has been left disappointed by Mourinho's treatment of him.

The report claims that the Ivory Coast international is now unsure of his future at the club, and will seek talks with Mourinho to determine whether he will stay with the Red Devils.

Bailly, who has a contract at United until the summer of 2020, was outstanding during his first season at Old Trafford following a 2016 move from Villarreal.

However, the 24-year-old only made 13 Premier League appearances last term due to a mixture of injury problems and a loss of form.
