Eric Bailly has signed a new contract to keep him at Manchester United until at least June 2024.
Bailly s previous deal was deal was due to expire at the end of next season, but the 27-year-old defender has agreed terms to extend his stay.
The Ivory Coast centre-back, who has the option of a further 12-month extension on his new contract, has made only 15 appearances in another injury-hit season for United and is eager to but those troubles behind him.
I m very happy. This decision is something I didn t have to think about, I love this club and I love playing for Manchester United, Bailly said.
I m happy and so are my family, everything is good. Now the moment with my injury has passed and I m fit and feel good, and that s it. A new contract is like a new challenge and I m ready for this.
Bailly, who joined United from Villarreal for £30million in 2016, suffered another setback when he tested positive for coronavirus while he was away on international duty.
Having won the Europa League with United four years ago, he is hungry to lift the same trophy again next month ahead of a semi-final first leg against Roma this week and also has his sights set on claiming a first Premier League title.
