Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says Tyrell Malacia “did a great job” filling in at right-back in the club’s 2-1 win over Fulham.
The Netherlands international is a left-back by trade but Diogo Dalot's suspension forced Ten Hag to select a makeshift option on the opposite flank, and it was Malacia who got the nod.
He was troubled by the likes of Willian and former Reds midfielder Andreas Pereira, though, and was caught high up the pitch for Fulham’s equaliser. However, he became more stable towards the latter stages of the game and produced a decent display given he was playing in an unfamiliar position.
