Manchester United told how signing Frenkie de Jong and Tyrell Malacia will bring 'new standard'

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha insists the signings of Frenkie de Jong and Tyrell Malacia show the club are moving in the right direction.

United are looking to get deals for both players over the line soon, having agreed fees for the pair earlier this week. A €15m (£12.9m) deal has been struck with Feyenoord for Malacia, while De Jong is expected to cost the club €65m (£56.14m) plus add-ons.

United’s wait for a first signing looks as though could end soon, having gone the whole of June without any new additions. United expect to finalise the transfer for Malacia “in the coming days”, while discussions are ongoing over De Jong as the Netherlands international prepares to return from his holiday.
