Yes I know that but no one considers Nani and Evra as Africans instead of their actual nationalities. Good spot on Djiouf, completely forgot about him and thought Djemba was our last African.

Welcome to our new 36 year old centre back 
Bailly vs Liverpool
He looks comfortable when required to use his left foot. I believe he has experience as LCB from Espanyol and with his country. Can see him developing a formidable partnership with Smalling.

Tune in to #MUTVHD at 14:00 BST (UK/IRE) for @EricBailly24's first #mufc interview: http://bit.ly/1UOxK07Tweet

I used to cheer for his dad's bollocks
My bad, although there was only about a half hour between tweets.
Yea it takes him that long to change a few words
He is just as bad as everyone else. He called one major transfer over the last few years and that was Di Maria to United. Thats one.
In Mourinho I trust!!!
We just started a new era and I have no doubt Mourinho will build a strong team in the next two seasons.
Eric has amazing technical abilities, he's fast and overall he's just a great addition to our club.

Anyone else thinks he looks a bit like Gallas? I'd be happy if he can be as good without the injuries.
Good news, its nice to see transfer business being completed nice and early. Shows we have a plan/strategy in mind hopefully.
I like watching new signing's followers shoot up when it's announced, he's more than doubled his twitter followers in an hour.
Pogba, Zlatan... from a team of weak midgets that had no choice but to play Fellaini, to a team of fecking animalsPogba is next so?
We should have had a CB like this last summer with all due respect to the excellent job Blind has done in LVG's system.
I like Mourinho's decisiveness about how his team will look.

Will need a serious pre season to get ready for the Prem. He may have looked physical over in La Liga but he's apparently only 77kg, that's very slight for a prem centre back, like Januzaj is 75kg. I think Mourinho will still sign a starting centre back while Bailly adapts to what's required.
No, he's really not.
I would be very surprised if he doesn't have numerous reputable sources within most La Liga clubs.

Ok feck it, he's a cnut then. Viva Eric!
Just wanted to be first in with the "what shirt number will he get" speculation
77kg of pure muscle by the looks of it, similar to Ronaldo in that respect right?
Dunno but it still pisses me off seeing Rojo with #5, he's nowhere near good enough for that shirt.
Given youre going back as far as Schmeichel I think that might be a bit too far. Eric Cantona, Rio Ferdinand... Though I guess Leeds are a less established club.
I know nothing about him, but we need more CB's so great news.
Woohoo! A CB. Hopefully we'll not be relying on big Dave every game now!
In my opinion, this lad is a world class centre back who is going to be brilliant for us.
I've never actually seen him play, and hadn't even heard of him until 10 days ago, but he cost £30m, so *has* to be good . . . right?

He 'froze' while waiting to have his mugshot taken didn't he
Blind showed it isn't always about being tall and heavy. Using your body correctly and timing of the challenge is so much more important. Of course having power behind you always helps, but from the videos he's certainly got that. I like his aggressiveness too.
Balague annoys me. I think him a bit smarmy too. Did he say a few weeks ago Mourinho was not going to be United manager?
We shall see how he will handle the premier league, it is not always easy.
but but mourinho doesn't like youth.................
Welcome ERIC!!
Welcome ERIC!!
I knew of Schmeichel from his exploits for Denmark, in Euro 92.
And Stam, when he arrived, was reputed to be one of the best defenders in the World. I remember reading an interview when he first arrived - he had a huge ego and confidence that he was the best in the business. Stam was one of the most exciting signings at the time and he did not disappoint.
Martial - I'd never heard of him before we got him.
Looks very clumsy in his YouTube videos, no? I don't see anything special about him at all - your average physically well built defender.
But then, I'm no scout. We do need some physique at the back, and I hope he does well here. Welcome, Eric!

But he's got one hell of a leap on him
Having followed him since the Big Bang when he was a mere hydrogen atom, I'm really excited about his potential.
Ronaldo is shorter and heavier (80-83kg) whichever you believe. He plays a position that weight isn't as much as an advantage as for a centre back too. Bailly is still a young lad though and may naturally fill out over the next few years, hopefully putting on 10kg-12kg to help him cope with the physical nature of the Prem.
Nice. To be honest i have never heard of him befor last week.
The Mourinho haters, must be thinking, "Damnit, his first signing is a 22 year old....Damn you Mourinho".Welcome to our new 36 year old centre back
If/when we win the title, the haters will be furious
Didn't know about him until a week ago. Will trust Jose's judgement on this one. Hoping he turns out to be more Martial than Djemba-Djemba.
Very happy to see we're already getting signings wrapped up, now onto the next one!
Not so happy at reading different variations of the same awful joke about 30 times...
