Manchester United centre-back Eric Bailly has committed his future to the club after signing a new three-year contract that promises to keep him at the Old Trafford until at least 2024.

The Ivory Coast international, who is currently behind Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof in the pecking order, told the club’s official website: “For me, it’s the dream to be here. Now it’s my fifth season and I hope to be here a long time.

“We are in a good position. We have the Europa League and we are second in the league, and that is very good.

“We hope we can win this trophy [the Europa League] – it is very important for us and for the fans and for the season. We want to finish well in the Premier League as well, I’m sure we will.

“I hope I can be ready and I don’t get any injuries and to be strong and finish the season well. I hope to win the Europa League this season.

“We will have more challenges next season – hopefully the Champions League – and, for me, my dream is to win the Premier League, that’s my big dream.”

The 27-year-old defender has made 100 appearances for United since his arrival from La Liga outfit Villarreal in June 2016.
