AS and several other sources are suggesting that United are already in talks to sign Bailly and a move to Old Trafford could be agreed in the coming days.
The 22-year-old Ivory Coast central defender has actually been linked along with a move to join Pep Guardiola at Manchester City for most of 2016, but it has actually now appears that United have actually made the first move to capture his signature.
Still something of a raw talent, Bailly has actually impressed at Villarreal since his move from Espanyol in January 2015, along with the links along with a move to the Premier League refusing to disperse over the first half of 2016.
Now the race for his signature appears to have actually moved to the next level, along with Mourinho quickly identifying the central defensive position as one of his chief areas of concern since he succeeded Louis van Gaal as United manager and a move to Bailly would certainly suggest he has actually signed up to a continuation of the club’s policy to trying to capture the most effective young users in the game.
Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial are two big name signings that arrived at United along with big transfer fees in recent years, along with the club hoping their investment in youthful ability will reap long-term rewards.
Bailly would certainly be another gamer who fits into that mould, along with his powerful presence alongside possible defensive partner Chris Smalling set to give Mourinho a more mobile defensive line that Van Gaal was operating along with in a season that ended along with him being sacked by United.
Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic looks set to be a marquee signing for Mourinho in the coming days, but United are keen to ensure they do not divert away from their policy of investing in potential as they look to splash the cash this summer.
