Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has joined Marseille on a season-long loan.
Marseille will cover all of the 28-year-old Ivory Coast international’s wages during his time at the Stade Velodrome.
The Ligue 1 club are obligated to sign Bailly permanently in the summer of 2023 for £5.1million (€6m), subject to appearances and whether Marseille qualify for the Champions League.
Jose Mourinho brought Bailly to Manchester United from Villarreal in the summer of 2016 and the centre-back went on to make 113 appearances for the club, scoring once.
Bailly won the EFL Cup and Europa League in 2017, United’s last major honours.
