A bid by Leeds United was also rejected in the summer. The report also states that the move comes just at a time when several Premier League clubs have reignited their interest in him.
Bailey has been splendid this season for his current club Bayer Leverkusen. The 23-year-old’s tally of 4 goals and 5 assists in 12 league games has propelled Leverkusen to second place in the Bundesliga.
The Red Devils don’t have a shortage of world-class forwards. However, a congested list of Premier League fixtures has seen them struggle at times due to injury issues.
United also do not have an established right-winger, a position which Bailey is adept at playing. The quality, depth, and versatility that Bailey offers could help propel United to reach their title aspirations.
