Eric Bailly could be ready to quit Manchester United in January and now both Arsenal and Tottenham are on red alert for him. The North London clubs are watching developments closely and are keen on United’s Ivory Coast international. Baily, who joined Manchester United for £30m in 2016, appears to have been blamed by Jose Mourinho for last month’s defeat at Brighton. Bailly was dropped for United’s next game against Tottenham and has been just a late substitute at Burnley and Watford in their last two matches. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is known to be an admirer of Bailly, while Arsenal also look to strengthen their defence if Bailly appears to be out of favour under Mourinho.
