Man Utd mistake lingers over Erik ten Hag as he gets green light on first signing

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is set to oversee his first signing as the club’s new manager with an agreement in place to sign Feyenoord defender Tyrell Malacia.

United also have an initial transfer fee agreed with Barcelona for £56.2million to sign midfielder Frenkie de Jong, while they are keen to add Ajax duo Lisandro Martinez and Antony along with free agent Christian Eriksen this summer. However, Malacia is set to become the first summer arrival at the club.
