Barcelona 'targetting' Manchester United's Eric Bailly and more transfer rumours

Barcelona are reportedly the latest club to show an interest in Manchester United defender Eric Bailly.

The Ivorian has found playing time hard to come by having fallen down the United pecking order in recent seasons.

Bailly signed a contract extension last year but the summer signing of Raphael Varane has seen his first-team minutes reduced even further.

According to the Daily Star, Xavi is looking to add the central defender to his squad, with United potentially looking to recoup some of the £30m they spent on Bailly back in 2016.

Meanwhile, United are reportedly eyeing a move for Championship goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

That is according to 90min who say United are looking to bring Johnstone back to Old Trafford, with Dean Henderson's future at the club still up in the air.

Henderson was looking to move away in January, with Newcastle and Ajax both interested in securing his services.

The report suggests that United could move for the West Brom shot-stopper in an attempt to bolster their goalkeeping options should Henderson leave.
