Eric Bailly breaks silence on Manchester United exit
Eric Bailly has officially left Manchester United after weeks of rumours, and the Ivorian defender recently thanked the English team before departing for France.

After falling out of favour at United, the 28-year-old recently finished a loan move to Marseille. The writing was on the wall for the Old Trafford crowd favourite after the signing of Lisandro Martinez and Erik Ten Hag's predilection for using players like Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, and Victor Lindelof.

The Ligue 1 team will be responsible for paying Bailly's whole salary while also being under no obligation to sign the Ivorian player until he makes a certain number of appearances and qualifies for the UEFA Champions League.

After making the move to France, Bailly took to his Instagram account and penned a short note to the Red Devils saying, “From the bottom of my heart, thank you United!”

In a separate post, Bailly addressed the Marseille fans by saying, “I’m happy and I can’t wait to start this new adventure. A big season ahead!”

The aggressive centre-back struggled with long injury lay-offs during his time at Old Trafford. This affected his prospects of breaking into the starting XI despite heading to England as a highly rated player. Bailly spent six years at United, making 113 appearances along the way.
