John Murtough described Tyrell Malacia as an "exciting, dynamic young footballer" as Manchester United confirmed their first signing of the summer.
Malacia was at Carrington on Monday along with his agent Ali Dursun to complete his medical and sign the paperwork required for his move to Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag is no stranger to Malacia having seen his Ajax side compete against the full-back for Feyenoord in the Eredivisie.
Before the deal was announced, the 22-year-old explained that he had a 'good conversation' with his new manager before sealing a move to England. Lyon had been expected to sign the left-back before Ten Hag stepped in.
