The 22-year-old becomes the first signing for manager Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford. "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," Bailly said. Central defender Eric Bailly has joined Manchester United from Spanish side Villarreal on a four-year contract with the option to extend for a further two years, the Premier League club said on Wednesday. Bailly, who has 15 caps for Ivory Coast, made 47 appearances for Villarreal after joining in 2015. "I am looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and to starting this new chapter of my life."
