The season’s conclusion means one thing. The focus is predominantly on the departures and arrivals at Manchester United in the transfer market.
It has been a strange window so far. There has been so much speculation with a plethora of players including Mason Mount, Andre Onana, Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen and so many more – but so far nothing has materialised.
Never mind the incomings, the outgoings have also been pretty stale as well. United need to shift players in order to bring in some desired names. So far, only Zidane Iqbal has left for a fee, which leaves fans puzzled as to why nothing is happening.
A player that has been linked with a move away is Eric Bailly, who has been reported to exit the club for as little as £2m this summer. The Ivorian has returned back from his loan and it’s now clear that he is certainly not in Erik ten Hag’s plans.

Bruno Fernandes on Eric Bailly
But one player that believes Bailly is a phenomenal asset to the club is Bruno Fernandes. He took to Instagram to promote a real-life talent stock market company, Royaltiz by picking three names he would choose to invest in.
His second choice was none other than his teammate and good friend Bailly – he had the following to say about him:
“My second choice goes for my friend, Eric Bailly. I played with him at Manchester United. I think a great defender and really good pace.
“Really, really, really strong,” Bruno continued. “One of the best I’ve ever seen at blocking shots. Amazing – Even more as a person, so he is my second choice.”
High praise for a man that could be leaving Old Trafford for a fraction of what they paid for him. Despite all these traits probably being true, the brutal reality about Bailly is he is far too injury prone.
It’s been fun Eric – but we’re going to have to disagree with Bruno and wish you well on your new venture away from Manchester.
