Reliable source says Man Utd set to finalise first transfer of summer

Manchester United are close to announcing the signature of their first summer transfer, and its an expensive one. The usually reliable Gianluca Di Marzio claims that Manchester United have agreed a £25million plus £6million in add-ons to land Eric Bailly.

The 22-year-old Ivorian has been linked with a move to Manchester United over the last week, and he could be about to get a dream move to Old Trafford.

In terms of his style of play, Bailly is a quick, strong and physical centre-back who would bring a lot of character and ability to a struggling Manchester United back line.

Jose Mourinho clearly is a huge fan of the Sevilla centre-back, and will be looking to get this deal wrapped up before the week is out.

If there is a question mark surrounding him, it’s whether or not he’ll be able to handle the pressure of a big-money move. On top of that is his participation in the African Cup of Nations, which will rule him out of action for a couple of months every other season.
