Man United boss Erik ten Hag is reportedly ready to get rid of two Manchester United stars who have not reported for the pre-season.

According to The Sun, Bailly spent last season with French side Marseille, where he played 23 times for the Ligue 2 outfit.

On his part, Telles was part of Sevilla during the 2022/23 campaign, with his contribution helping the Spanish side lift the Europa League.

Telles, Bailly yet to report for pre season

Manchester Evening News claims the pair is yet to link up with the rest of the United squad for the pre-season as they continue to face an uncertain future at Old Trafford.

The defensive duo was not part of Ten Hag's squad that jetted out to the USA after Wednesday's friendly against Lyon.

Their absence means they will play no role in the Red Devils' pre-season friendlies against Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

Both players have entered the final year of their contracts with United, with the Premier League giants keen to offload them as Ten Hag embarks on a summer overhaul.

Man United release statement on Mount

Sports Brief also reported on Manchester United’s statement on Mason Mount after an awkward encounter between the midfielder and fans.

The video, which has gone viral on Tiktok and Twitter, shows Mount getting hounded by two fans at night, but the 24-year-old politely declined and walked away.

There have since been mixed reactions on social media, with some fans saying the former Chelsea man was justified to walk away for his own safety.
