Eric Bailly is targeting a Premier League winner's medal to mark his debut campaign at Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho 's £30m defensive capture from Villarreal has been an instant hit at Old Trafford and has helped give the Reds stability and open the season with two wins against Bournemouth and Southampton.

And coming out on top in May is number one on the agenda.

“The object is to win the league,” says the Ivorian.

“We have this goal in mind. The ideal would be to continue this hard work and be one of the top clubs in the world and there is no reason why we shouldn't do that

"The main thing is we set ourselves very high goals and hopefully we will reach them. We can certainly say the intent is there to improve among all players. The will from the players and staff is there."

“Personally I want to make the most of the opportunity that has been given to me and to make the most of the manager Jose Mourinho's, great experience and professionalism.”

Bailly has settled in quickly at Old Trafford and immediately has enjoyed an off-field link up with United's world record buy Paul Pogba.

“Paul is a exceptional guy and one of best in world and it is great to have him as a pal in dressing room,” added Bailly.

“It's important that he is a happy person and that shines out. It is an extra bonus for me to have him as a pal.”
