Manchester United have confirmed their first signing of the season in Ivorian defender Eric Bailly.
Eric Bailly has completed his move to Manchester United. According to reports, the defender will cost Man United close to the range of £30m. Even though United were one of the stingiest teams at the back last season, this signing would be very welcome considering the number of injuries the team faced, stretching the squad to its limit.
