Potential shock move from Manchester United Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as he looks to loan out defender Eric Bailly

Potential shock move from Manchester United Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as he looks to loan out defender Eric Bailly, according to The Sun.

The news will come as a big surprise to many United fans, as Bailly is a popular figure at Old Trafford and is only third in the pecking order behind Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire.

It seems harsh on the 26-year-old who has suffered terribly with injury woes this season, forced to make just seven appearances in all competitions.

Harry Maguire is United main defender.

If reports are to be true, there will be sure to be a host of Premier League clubs and teams from across Europe who will be looking to gain the Ivory Coast international’s services.

However, this decision could help Solskjaer bring a central defender to the club this season, with The Sun suggesting they could come in for Napoli ace Kalidou Koulibaly.
