Eric Bailly finds out that Paul Pogba has enough bromance to share around

They've already got a secret handshake.

Don’t worry, Manchester United players, you’ll all get a turn to be best buds with Paul Pogba sooner rather than later.

We’ve seen the blossoming bromance between the Frenchman and fellow new-boy Zlatan Ibrahimovic – complete with Pogba’s spot-on impression of the Swede (well, it’s close enough).

But Zlatan isn’t the only one to gain a new pal in Manchester, as this secret handshake between Pogba and Eric Bailly shows.

Bailly was Jose Mourinho’s first signing for United when he joined from Villarreal, and has settled in instantly with a Man of the Match performance against Bournemouth on the opening day of the Premier League season.

And the young centre-back is already making friends.

We’ve already seen a huge difference in mood at Old Trafford this season compared to last, and the new playing personnel are just as responsible for that as new manager Jose Mourinho.

While title talk might be a little premature, there’s certainly plenty of excitement around a team that has been able to express itself on the pitch, even at this early stage.

Who needs Champions League football when you have this kind of entertainment and enthusiasm coursing through the veins of the team.

The fans are sold on it, at the very least.
