It's not Zlatan.

Jose Mourinho does love a centre-half and it seems that his first signing at Old Trafford will be Villarreal’s highly rated central defender Eric Bailly, according to reports in Spain. The 22 year old has been one of the key players for the Yellow Submarines this season, making 34 appearances last season in all competition, and it's believed that United aren't looking to pay all of his €40m release clause, but somewhere around that figure Bailly joined Villarreal from Espanyol for €5.7m and it's reported that talks between Manchester United and the Ivorian's representatives are currently at an advanced stage. https://twitter.com/BumperGraham/status/739138690522460160 https://twitter.com/GuillemBalague/status/739131253857918976 https://twitter.com/stighefootball/status/739134867254988800 https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/739142606626689025 https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/739129630427226112 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5xSCd5fNds
