Manchester United have announced the arrival of defender Eric Bailly from Villareal on an initial four-year contract. The 22-year-old becomes Jose Mourinho's first signing since taking over at Old Trafford.

  • Bailly impressed in his debut season for the Yellow Submarines last term as they went on to clinch a Champions League qualification spot.

    A statement from United's official website reveals the player has inked a four-year deal at the club with an option to extend for a further two years.

    "It is a dream come true to be joining Manchester United. To play football at the highest level is all I have ever wanted to do," Bailly said after sealing his move.

    United are thought to have paid a fee of around £30m which automatically triggered the player's release clause at El Madrigal.
