Twitter reacts to Man United’s first signing of 2016 (Eric Bailly)

The Ivory Coast international, who is considered as one of the second-best record of the Yellow Submarine’s defenders – featured in seven games during club’s Europa League campaign.
The 22-year-old centre-back has signed a four-year deal at Old Trafford, meaning Mourinho will rely upon the prospect as a regular next season.
There will surely be further signings this summer, with the Red Devils still being heavily linked with a move for PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
If Bailly turns out to be at the same level as the last player we signed I hadn’t heard of, he’ll do alright #martial

Bailly seems like a good buy. Anything to keep Jones out forever

Bailly is a great player already. With Mourinho he can become one of the top 5 CBs in the world in my opinion

Bailly looks like an absolute beast of a CB, and he’s perfectly built for the prem… Excited to see what he brings #BaillyIsRed ????

Bailly looks a decent young centre half. Good partner for Smalling to be fair..

Not expecting great things from Eric Bailly in his first season, but once he’s settled down, he’ll be solid.

Eric Bailly is in good company as few had also heard of Stam & Vidic when they joined #MUFC. He too now has potential to be a great player

LvG bemoaned lack height at back, Jose has done something about that by signing Bailly. Let’s hope he’s Cantona Eric and not Djemba Eric.

Been watching Bailly since he was 10 in fact I was told when he was born, he has great potential, soon to be the best defender in the world.

I have watched Bailly play this season and hes a fantastic player…dont know what the fuss is about

Bailly looks good but wouldn’t start the season with him. Think it would be unfair on Blind and smalling who have had a good season #MUFC

Pretty jealous of United getting that Eric Bailly, meant to be a pretty good prospect, could be the next Kolo ????
