Eric was helping Amad even before the signing was made, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer asking for the defender’s opinion.
“I remember Ole talked to me about the guy,” Bailly explained to Sky Sports.
“And I know the guy. He’s very humble, he’s quiet, he doesn’t speak a lot.
“For me, I didn’t think two times. I said to the boss, he’s a good guy, he has the talent.
”I do everything! Agent, big brother! I’m so happy for him.“
Every United fan is excited by the potential of Amad, who scored his first goal for the club in stunning fashion with a backwards header against AC Milan in spring. He netted for the first time for his country this week with a brilliant last-minute free-kick to defeat Burkina Faso.
