Manchester United have been given a clear run at signing Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia after Lyon confirmed they would not be signing the player.
United are closing in on a deal to land the Dutch international in a £14million agreement with the Eredivisie club and make him their first signing of the summer transfer window. New Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is familiar with the player as an opponent in the Netherlands.
United are closing in on a deal to sign Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong with an initial transfer fee agreed with Barcelona for £56.2million but it is increasingly likely that Malacia will be their first signing of the Ten Hag era.
