Jose Mourinho talks up Eric Bailly potential

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says that summer signing from Villarreal Eric Bailly "has all the attributes" to succeed at Old Trafford.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has said that summer signing Eric Bailly "has all the attributes" to succeed at Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old became Mourinho's first summer signing when he joined the Premier League outfit on a four-year deal from Villarreal at the start of last month.

Despite his lack of experience, Mourinho has backed the Ivory Coast international, who cost in the region of £30m, to enjoy a successful career in England.

"It's not so easy to find a big guy who is really fast. But he is a player that we believe has all the attributes. He is very strong physically and [is also] very fast," Mourinho told MUTV.

Bailly could make his debut for Man United in their pre-season friendly against Championship outfit Wigan Athletic on July 16.
