New Manchester United defender Eric Bailly is enjoying the process of adapting to the Premier League as he prepares to face Hull City this weekend.
The Reds’ summer signing from Villarreal has been excellent in the opening weeks of the campaign and is already a favourite among the supporters.
After earning two man-of-the-match awards, against Leicester City in the Community Shield and at Bournemouth, the Cote d’Ivoire international is delighted with his decision to join United.
“The man-of-the-match awards are something I hadn’t thought about but I got them through the hard work I have put in,” he told MUTV. “I hope to see more of that in the weeks ahead of us.
“I chose United firstly because it’s one of the greatest clubs in the world and also because I was drawn by the big personalities at the club who showed they wanted to have me here. I had to take that moment without thinking about it. It was a no brainer.”
Hull will aim to unsettle the African star on Saturday with Abel Hernandez and Adama Diomande his potential rivals in the Tigers’ attack at the KCOM Stadium, reports manutd.com.
“Most opponents in the Premier League are good players,” he continued. “I haven’t really got a preference [for who I come across]. I’ve got to adapt to whoever is opposite me and have to be attentive. There is not a great deal of difference between the strikers at this level. Anybody who is a striker in the Premier League is a good striker.”
