Manchester United's Eric Bailly pictured training with La Liga club during international break

Eric Bailly has shared an update of himself at La Liga club Espanyol's training complex.

United crashed out of the Champions League earlier this week at the hands of Atletico Madrid. United lost that Round of 16 match 1-0 versus Diego Simeone's side and the Reds will next be in action on Saturday, April 2 against Leicester in the Premier League.

As the March international break has now begun, United's players have had the opportunity to enjoy a small break before reporting for international duty - that applies to the players that have been called up to their respective nations - and Bailly has used that chance to travel to Spain, where previously played for Espanyol and most recently Villarreal.

Bailly has shared pictures of himself during the break, seemingly training using his former club's facilities.

Bailly is understood to have been long unhappy at his lack of game time at United, but he actually signed a three-year contract extension in April last year, meaning he's contracted at the club until the summer of 2024 (there is an option of another year).

Bailly was on the bench as United lost to Atletico Madrid and he's made just seven appearances for United this season.

The centre-back has played just over 400 minutes and he could look to leave United in the summer in search of more game time.
