Manchester United still expect to complete the signing of Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia.
The Manchester Evening News understands an issue over Malacia's representation involving his agent, Ali Dursun, and the player's father has been resolved and senior United sources insist there is "no problem" with the deal.
United's own process in their move for Malacia, 22, has not been affected by the sudden issue on the player's side. Sources stress United have an agreement with Feyenoord and they expect to finalise the transfer "in the coming days".

Malacia's transfer is also separate from the protracted deal for Frenkie de Jong, also represented by Dursun. Discussions for De Jong remain ongoing but United are not anticipating any impact.
United agreed fees with Feyenoord for Malacia and Barcelona for De Jong earlier this week as they attempt to complete their first signings of the summer.
United struck a deal for €15m (£12.9m) for Malacia after they hijacked Lyon's deal for the Netherlands international. Sources say United agreed the fee with Feyenoord on Tuesday afternoon.
A deal for De Jong is expected to be completed for €65m (£56.14m) plus add-ons. It is understood the initial fee will be paid in instalments.
United went the whole of June without a single signing for the first time since 2010 but are lining up reinforcements elsewhere as they continue their squad rebuild.
Manager Erik ten Hag is targeting at least five signings, with United also in the market for a forward, a centre-back and a back-up goalkeeper.
Ten Hag is interested in centre-back Lisandro Martinez and forward Antony, both at Ajax, and the former Ajax and Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen.
