Manchester United defender Eric Bailly is closing in on a permanent move to Besiktas as Erik ten Hag prepares to finally get rid of the unwanted defender.<\/p>\n
Bailly joined United in a \u00a330m deal from\u00a0LaLiga side Villarreal under Jose Mourinho seven-years ago, but has failed to convince Ten Hag he is worthy of a place within his squad.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old spent last season on-loan at French side Marseille before returning to United at the end of the season following the expiration of his loan spell.<\/p>\n
However, Bailly is now set for a move to Turkey as talks between United, Besiktas and Bailly continue at an advanced stage.<\/p>\n
Bailly has been courted by the Turkish club throughout the transfer window and will sign a one-year deal at Besiktas where he will aim to reignite his stalling career.<\/p>\n

Man United defender Eric Bailly is set to join Turkish side Besiktas on a one-year contract<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bailly has struggled with injuries in recent seasons and is set to leave Old Trafford<\/p>\n
Turkish sides have up until September 15 to make additions to their squads, whereas the Premier League transfer window shut last Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bailly has had interest from the likes of Fulham\u00a0and Marseille also but has failed to agree on terms after holding talks with both clubs.<\/p>\n
However, it is understood he has compromised on terms to conclude his move to Besiktas as the curtain draws close on a largely underwhelming Man United career.<\/p>\n
Bailly has struggled with long-term injuries in recent years that prevented him from rediscovering the career best form that he arrived in Manchester with previously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
United have cover after Jonny Evans signed a one year contract with the club last Friday.<\/p>\n
