AS Roma are said to be keen to sign Eric Bailly - and some Manchester United fans are not happy about the prospect.
According to Sky Sports, the United defender is set to hold talks with Erik ten Hag regarding his concerns over limited game time for the upcoming season. Should the 28-year-old not get the reassurances needed - it is reported that Bailly would then be open to making the move to reunite with his former coach Jose Mourinho at Roma.
The Ivory Coast international was Mourinho's first signing during his spell at United. It now appears that the the Portuguese manager wants to pursue a deal for Bailly to bolster his Italian side's defence ahead of the new season.

Former Red Chris Smalling already plays for the Serie A club and the duo could be set to team-up once again. However, it is believed that Bailly's preference is to stay and fight for his place at Old Trafford - the addition of Lisandro Martinez this summer makes this an even harder challenge of course.
Whether the deal would be a loan or a permanent move is still yet to be seen - but as the news broke among United fans, there was a mixed reaction to the potential transfer.
