According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United is willing to allow Eric Bailly and Alex Telles to leave the club this summer.
Both the United stars are expected to return to Old Trafford as their loan stint is about to expire in the upcoming months.
Left-back Telles has made over 32 appearances for Sevilla this season. The 30-year-old is not wanted by the Spanish team despite contributing with three assists.
Tyrell Malacia and Diogo Dalot have both performed admirably, and Luke Shaw has been outstanding for United this season. Telles would likely leave the club as the Red Devils do not require another left-back or left-sided centre-back.

He is approaching the final year of his contract, and the Red Devils would like to sell him this summer. His future club could have to consent to pay a greater portion of his salary before a loan agreement can be reached
Telles made 50 appearances in his first two seasons with the Red Devils (2020-2021). He would have plenty of suitors this summer.
Additionally, Bailly’s contract expires next summer, and it appears that he has played his final match for United. The Ivory Coast defender is on loan at Marseille. Although Bailly has appeared in 19 games for the French team, he has only started four league matches.
The 29-year-old’s efforts are insufficient to get a permanent transfer. He moved to United in 2016 and made an immediate impact in his first season. Although he made 113 appearances for the team, he has been an inconsistent defender.
Bailly will also see the exit door in the upcoming months as the Red Devils want to offload players in order to sign new stars this summer.
