AC Milan are planning to test Manchester United’s resolve with a bid for the Ivory Coast international, according to ESPN.

The 24-year-old was substituted just 19 minutes into the Red Devil’s win over Newcastle on October 6 and has not featured for Jose Mourinho’s side since.

United are seeking defensive reinforcements in January and Bailly, who only joined from Villarreal in June 2016, is among those who could be replaced due to a run of poor form.
