Erik ten Hag has decided on the player he wants to become his first signing as Manchester United manager.
The incoming United boss is set to target Feyenoord's Dutch defender Tyrell Malacia – who has been nicknamed the 'pitbull' in his home country because of his tenacious approach. Ten Hag previously tried to sign the defender for current club Ajax although Feyenoord resisted the move because of the rivalry between the two sides.
It comes as Ralf Rangnick's new role with the Austria national team could help United bring in midfielder target Konrad Laimer. And the interim United boss cancelled a training session on Friday amid reports of further dressing room unrest.
