This is the first player theyve signed since Ruud van Nistelrooy became manager and he wants to make the team stronger especially in defense and on the wings. Coulibaly is good cause he can play both right-back and left-back which means he’ll give James Justin some competition for his spot. They signed him right before they gotta play Crystal Palace in the Premier League which shows they mean business this season.
