Eric Bailly, a center back for Manchester United, has been loaned to the French team Marseille for the remainder of the year.

Marseille will pay the 28-year-old Ivory Coast defender’s salary as part of the agreement.

It includes a 6 million euro (£5.07 million) commitment to buy contingent upon performance and Ligue 1 club Champions League qualification.

Bailly struggled to maintain a spot in the first squad after moving to United from Villarreal in 2016 for £30 million.

In the previous five seasons, he only made 45 Premier League matches due to a string of injuries.

He has fallen down the Old Trafford hierarchy due to the arrivals of Lisandro Martinez this summer and Raphael Varane last season.
