# Genk slap huge price tag on United target

Genk have demanded between €20-€25m for Manchester United target Leon Bailey, according to the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/genk-name-price-manchester-united-9493948).

20-year-old Bailey has caught the eyes of both Manchester United and Leicester City and Genk’s technical director Dimitri de Conde has been quick to slap a price on his head.

Bailey has impressed for Genk this season on the left-wing. In his 31 appearances so far this season, he has scored eight times and set up a further nine goals for his team mates. Genk currently sit ninth in the Pro League and will face Tottenham in the Europa League Round of 32.

Jamaican-born Bailey joined Genk in August 2015 from Slovakian side AS Trencin. Since then, he has made 73 appearances for the Belgian outfit, scoring 15 goals.

Manchester United currently sit sixth in the Premier League, four points outside the top four. Their next match is on Boxing Day at home to Sunderland who are currently sat in the relegation zone.
