Although Manchester United were left exposed at the back a few times in the second half and ended up conceding a goal, Eric Bailly still had a fine debut.
He has already formed a solid partnership with Daley Blind and with his fierce tackling and comfortable with the ball at his feet, he could establish himself as a United regular. Bailly received his second consecutive Man of the Match award after he received one against Leicester in the Community Shield last week.
