Bailly said: "It is a dream come true to be joining Manchester United. To play football at the highest level is all I have ever wanted to do."
United manager Jose Mourinho said: "Eric is a young central defender with great natural talent. He has progressed well to date and has the potential to become one of the best around."
Bailly has played 40 times in La Liga, the first five of which were for Espanyol. He joined Villarreal for €5.6m in January 2015.
