Manchester United player Eric Bailly sends brilliant Instagram message to new Arsenal signing Nicolas Pepe

Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has sent a message to new Arsenal signing Nicolas Pepe on Instagram.

Pepe completed his move to the Gunners from Lille on Thursday afternoon, in a deal with around £72million.

The Ivory Coast international had been linked with a move to the Reds, although the MEN understands that Pepe was never a United target.

But fresh from completing his move to the Premier League, the winger has now received a good luck message from his fellow intentional team-mate.

Taking to the social media site, Bailly uploaded two separate videos to his story, both of Pepe dancing to music in an Arsenal away shirt, before the captioning the first video with "Good luck Nicolas Pepe", the second clip was then captioned: "bonne chance @NICOLAS.PEPE19" French for good luck.

Bailly picked up an injury in Thursday’s 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the International Champions Cup, and is expected to miss the next four to five months.
