After scouting #EricBailly on YouTube I feel he doesn't seem extraordinary…but then I felt the same way for Martial about a year ago#MUFC

I'm so happy we're signing Eric Bailly, I've watched his whole career. Was there when he was born, his first day of school also. Superstar.

Well having watched him for 14 minutes I can say Eric Bailly is better than Laporte at every aspect of the game, typical small club City

Eric Bailly to United for £30m. The lengths you have to go when you're not a Champions League club.
