WILL HE BE THE ONLY AFRICAN AT OLT TRAFFORD?

 

 

 

 

 

Eric Bailly made his debut for the Ivory Coast in 2015

Villarreal central defender Eric Bailly looks like being Jose Mourinho's first signing as Manchester United manager.

Bailly is due to have a medical this week and terms are thought to have been agreed with the 22-year-old, who will cost the Red Devils about £30m.
He has played 40 times in La Liga, the first five of which were for Espanyol.
Bailly joined Villarreal for £4.4m in January 2015 and played in every game as Ivory Coast won the Africa Cup of Nations just weeks later.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also tipped to join United as Mourinho rebuilds a squad he inherited from Louis van Gaal, who was sacked last month.
The Sweden striker, 34, is a free agent after leaving Paris St-Germain and hinted at the weekend he would make an announcement about his future on Tuesday.
But that announcement turned out to concern his new sportswear range.
Asked about his future at the Paris launch event, he told the audience: "There is no confirmation. Keep wondering. I am enjoying the stories."
