EPL: Bailly names two Man Utd players who blew him away

Olympique Marseille centre-back, Eric Bailly, has named attackers Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial as two Manchester United players who 'blew him away' at Old Trafford.

Bailly played alongside the likes of Wayne Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Cristiano Ronaldo, but it was Martial and Rashford who impressed him the most.

The Ivorian joined Man United in 2016 from Villarreal and played six seasons for the Red Devils before making a loan move to Marseille this summer.

Speaking to L'Equipe, Bailly said, "I knew a lot of great players in Manchester. But if I have to talk about everyone who impressed me, we are never going to finish this interview! There was incredible talent, both old and young.

"Someone like Marcus Rashford really blew me away. Anthony Martial too."

Bailly also spoke about his current teammate in Marseille, Alexis Sanchez, who was a former Manchester United striker.

The defender added, "Alexis is passionate, he has the grinta (grit), the energy he gives to the people around him, This is what he is demonstrating again here at OM [Marseille].

"He, too, had a difficult time in Manchester. I am glad to find him here."
