Arsenal's decision to keep a hold of William Saliba this summer could pave the way for Eric Bailly's exit from Manchester United.

Saliba, who is excelling on loan at Marseille this season, is set to return to the Emirates in the summer but it remains to be seen if he will be an integral part of Mikel Arteta's plans. The defender has yet to make a competitive appearance for the Gunners following his £27million move from St Etienne in the summer of 2019 which has prompted claims that he could be sold with the Ligue 1 club keen to make his loan move permanent.

Arteta insists that Saliba is a player for Arsenal's long-term future and, if he remains in north London, Marseille are lining up alternatives for the upcoming window. Bailly is a player at the top of Jorge Sampaoli's shortlist, according to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, via Get French Football News, after a failed attempt to sign the Ivorian on loan in January

Bailly was omitted from United's starting line-up at Anfield as Liverpool claimed a dominant 4-0 win over their rivals with Phil Jones coming into the side as Ralf Rangnick deployed a back three.

Rangnick admitted Jones was picked at the expense of Bailly. He told MUTV: "Jones should be an important part of our backline, he played well when he played in that position
