Jurrien Timber has delivered a message to fellow Netherlands starlet Tyrell Malacia after Manchester United made him their first signing of the summer transfer window. Malacia, 22, has signed for an initial €15million and will join up with his new teammates in time for the club's pre-season tour.
Erik ten Hag identified Malacia as one of his main targets after being appointed manager and that deal was officially confirmed on Tuesday. United have also agreed a move for Christian Eriksen and remain in talks with Barcelona player Frenkie de Jong plus Argentine centre-back Lisandro Martinez from Ajax.
Other recruits are set to be welcomed in as part of a much-needed rebuild, but Malacia will first enjoy his moment in the limelight as he prepares to compete with Luke Shaw for a place at left-back. His transfer from Feyenoord has scope to rise by a further €2million in add-ons.
