Manchester United are in talks with Villarreal to sign Ivory Coast international Eric Bailly, according to Sky sources. Sky Sports News HQ understands United are not the only club trying to sign Bailly, with Manchester City, Barcelona, and Paris St Germain all also in talks with the La Liga club. Bailly is not believed to have a release clause in his contract, which means all four clubs are essentially in a bidding war for the player. That has driven his transfer fee towards the region of £30m. All four clubs are also competing to offer the best financial package to the player. The 22-year-old central defender played 25 times for Villarreal in La Liga last season, and made seven Europa League appearances, scoring once. He played in his side's 1-0 semi-final first-leg victory against Liverpool. Villarreal only signed Bailly in January 2015 from Espanyol to replace Gabriel Paulista, who joined Arsenal earlier that month. He has won 14 caps for Ivory Coast after making his international debut in the same month. www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/10304127/manchester-united-in-talks-to-sign-eric-bailly-from-villarreal |

Villarreal and the Red Devils have reached an agreement for the young Ivory Coast defender.Javier Mata 4 June 2016 19:09h CEST
Villarreal’s Eric Bailly, is set to join Premier League side Manchester United with the deal expected to be closed later tonight. The Carrusel Deportivo sports programme (part of the Cadena Ser network) have confirmed that both sides are about to conclude the negotiation process with a fee of 40 million euro being agreed in securing the defender’s signature. United will not pay his buy-out clause which was fixed at 40 million but will pay the LaLiga club a quaintly that when varying add on fees etc. are added up will be close to the 40 million euro mark. Interest
Manchester United were not alone in their pursuit of the Ivory Coast international with Manchester City and reigning champions Leicester City also showing interest in the coveted defender. In Spain Robert Fernandez, Barcelona sporting director was known to be following the development of the player as he watched Denis Suárez at Villarreal.
Moved from Espanyol
Bailly arrived at Villarreal over 18 months ago following a move from Espanyol. The “yellow submarine” paid 5,2 million euro for his services with Espanyol retaining a stake in the player. Bailly has convinced at Villarreal with his strong dynamic physical style of play but has been prone to lapses of concentration and has been troubled with a series of shoulder injuries. en.as.com/en/2016/06/04/football/1465058295_730024.html

The comments about lapses in concentration and shoulder injuries are worrying to read given our defence's existing issues with injuries and lapses in concentration. Looks to be a powerful defender though, which we do badly need.

The fact that Jose picked this guy should be enough. One of the few certainties in football is that his CB's are almost 10% better (at least) by having him as manager. Smalling is already going to be better. This guy is going to be better. He made Ramos a good defender and he's a maniac.

I'd love us to get Varane but over the past 2 years he's made Silvestre look like Bobby Moore. |

"United’s flag is deepest red, it shrouded all our Munich dead. Before their limbs grew stiff and cold, their heart’s blood dyed it’s ev’ry fold. Then raise United’s banner high, beneath it’s shade we’ll live and die. So keep the faith and never fear."
