Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba may have grabbed all the headlines at Manchester United, but Lee Sharpe believes Eric Bailly's arrival is the most significant.
The 22-year-old central defender arrived at Old Trafford for a reported €30million fee from Villarreal and was quickly installed at the heart of United's backline by Jose Mourinho in a partnership with Daley Blind, impressing in his four outings so far.
"The team looks really strong in every department now, I think the manager's strengthened in good areas with top-quality players and the rest of the team are raising their standards to join them," said the former United winger.
"Ibrahimovic is obviously going to be a massive star, and so is Pogba, but I think the one that's stood out for me at the moment is Bailly the centre-half.
"He looks quick, decent on the ball, he reads the game really well.
"If he continues to play like he has done in the first few games I think they've found an absolute gem."
