Jose Mourinho has started his Man U reign on a
good note with the £30m capture of Ivory Coast
defender Eric Bailly from Villareal. The club has
confirmed his capture with a post on it's official
website. It read:
'Manchester United is delighted to
announce that Eric Bertrand Bailly has
completed his transfer from Villarreal CF,
subject to successfully obtaining a work
permit. Eric joins on a four-year contract
with the option to extend for a further two
years.'
Bailly, 22, made 47 appearances for
Villarreal since joining on 29 January 2015.
The Ivory Coast central defender has
made 15 appearances for his country and
was part of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations-
winning team, having appeared in all six
matches during the competition.'
"It is a dream come true to be joining
Manchester United," Bailly told the club's
official website. "To play football at the
highest level is all I have ever wanted to
do. I want to progress to be the best that I
can be and I believe working with Jose
Mourinho will help me develop in the right
way and at the right club. I am looking
forward to meeting my new team-mates
and to starting this new chapter of my life."
Mourinho said:
"Eric is a young central defender with great
natural talent. He has progressed well to
date and has the potential to become one
of the best around.
