Feyenoord captain praises Tyrell Malacia after Manchester United performances

Feyenoord captain Orkun Kokcu has spoken of his pride in former teammate Tyrell Malacia following the defender's transfer to Manchester United.

The 23-year-old could make his European bow for the Reds when they welcome Real Sociedad to Old Trafford in their Europa League opener. Malacia has played in all six games this season and has emerged as a standout player.

The Dutchman is keeping Luke Shaw out of the side having claimed three clean sheets so far, one of which came after his half-time substitution in the 4-0 defeat to Brentford. He became Erik ten Hag’s first signing as United boss, arriving for £12.9m.
