Team: Manchester United
Position: Centre-Back
Age: 22
He arrived as an unknown in the United Kingdom but immediately impressed.
The Community Shield game against Leicester brought up immediate comparisons with classy predecessors like Rio Ferdinand, and with good reason too.
Bailly is adept at reading the game and can time a challenge better than most defenders in his position. There is good reason to believe he can be Manchester United's long-term option in his position.
The only problem is that he seems to have gone backwards since that day at Wembley. An injury against Chelsea stopped him from acclimatising.
Next season may be when Bailly really shines.
