Ivory Coast legend Kolo Toure has claimed the whole of his country is proud of compatriot Eric Bailly following the 22-year-old’s excellent start to life at Manchester United.
Bailly moved to Old Trafford from La Liga side Villarreal in the summer and hit the ground running under Jose Mourinho’s management, winning the Man of the Match award from three of his first four matches before fans voted him the club’s Player of the Month for August.
Toure, who is currently playing for Celtic in Scotland, knows Bailly extremely well after they formed a successful centre-back partnership when Ivory Coast won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2015.
