BIALLY snubbed City for United

The new United acquisition has revealed how Guardiola and Yaya
Toure tried to lure him to the Etihad. The Ivorian claimed he dropped the idea of playing at City for a chance to work with Mourinho at Old Trafford."I signed for United because I like Mourinho, as simple as that," Bailly said in a chat with The Sun.
"I wanted to play for someone who works very hard. I didn't speak to Pep Guardiola, but the 'second' manager called me."
"Mourinho called me as well and he told me to come and play for him. I prefer Mourinho, in part because of Didier Drogba, who worked with him. Didier is a friend and he told me Jose did a lot for him. Yaya [Toure] also called me and wanted me to come to City, but once Jose spoke to me and Didier gave me advice, I knew straight away I wanted to play for him."
Bially became Mourinho's first signing as United boss for £30m.
