More like he chose Mourinho (and Drogba's advice) over Pep (and Yaya). The way he put it, he would have gone to City or Liverpool pronto if Mourinho was working there.

Man Utd 0:0 Everton (Pre-season)
He's a bit of a beast isn't he, raw yes but looks built for the league.
I think he has been very good in all the pre season games so far. Very encouraging.
Leicester 1:2 Man Utd
Fantastic last ditch tackle on Vardy. That's the sort of play I love to see, stopping a goalscoring chance like that.
The guy is a beast. Has Vardy in his pocket.
Definitely looks promising. Fast and aggressive.
That's a bit over the top. Vardy got the better of him a couple of times early on but Bailly got better as the half went on. All in all a good half from him. Still could see Vardy come up with a goal, he's such a difficult striker to defend against.
One rash tackle where he went to ground, but he's looking like he'll be a cracking player for us for the future.
Couple of times? Once with the fortunate rebound.
Agreed. Bailly grew stronger as the game progressed but looked shaky in the beginning with the nutmeg. Could have been early nerves as he looked solid for the rest of the half.
Raw. Incredibly athletic. Lots of pace. Lots and lots of pace. Really like him.
Brilliant so far, physically adapted for the league, reads and anticipates well too. Him and Smalling will be some partnership to beat.
True but that doesn't mean he had him in his pocket. Vardy gave him some trouble but he still defended well against him, no shame in that. It doesn't always have to be so black or white.
I like him. Excellent defender and neat passer. Does clear it out a bit more than I expected but can't fault his defending.
Cant wait to see Smalling and Bailly together.
He was nutmegged by Vardy as well as the lucky rebound when he broke the back line and slid in.
With more experience, he would probably keep in the defensive line instead of rushing in for the slide tackle. Solid half nevertheless.
Looks solid as feck. Very impressive.
His ability is obvious. Very exciting.
Very much a 'first-foot defender' it seems. Looks very promising, physical and athletic but certainly has plenty of potential.
Suppose a minor concern is he's mistimed a few tackles and been bypassed, but still a very impressive first half from him.

Apart from when he dived in on Vardy and missed the tackle, he's looked really solid. His pace and power is excellent.
That's exactly being in someone pocket. Try to give them trouble yet they keep owning you. I only remember one time where Vardy actually got the better of Baily otherwise it's been the other way around
Like what I see overall.
You mean Vardy gave the ball away attempting to take him on?
Fair enough this isn't really worth a debate. I guess I just can't stand that opinions always have to be on the extreme end of the spectrum over here.
had reservations on putting him in the fantasy football team given he's new to the league etc but after 45 minutes i'm sold.
I can see why Jose wanted to sign this guy. Wow!
Looking pretty good so far. Proactive and forceful, but surprisingly controlled.
I'd like to see how he does against striker that turn and run into the gap, though. So far he's faced fairly straightforward decisions.

He will have some cringeworthy mistakes, but I love what I am seeing so far
MOTM so far, for me. Made some Vidic-like last ditch tackles when Leicester try to run in behind. He has an outrageous leap when he goes for headers too.
I love him.
My Spanish co worker and avid Villarreal fan said he would be our signing of the summer. Looks pretty good so far...
Dont want to jinx him but hes been brilliant in every game hes played so far, especially this one.
Exactly what weve been crying out for. Strong, fast and great at heading it out and looks very good on the ball. Great at passing it out from the back too.
He's awesome.
Get stuck in Eric, never did Vidic any harm.
Unless he was up against Torres.
Showing his inexperienc there. He needs to learn when to corral attackers. In time he will. He's a little young to be expected to be consistently at the United level for a center half at his age.
