Robin van Persie has revealed his pride at seeing Tyrell Malacia during his debut Manchester United campaign but has sent a word of warning to the defender.
The Dutch left back became Erik ten Hag ’s first signing at the club following his arrival from Ajax last summer. He put pen to paper on a £12.5m move from Feyenoord, signing a four-year deal in the process.
The 23-year-old has made 30 appearances during his debut season as a Red Devil - his tenacity and creativity from left back a standout fixture so far, with six assists in all competitions. Former United striker Van Persie, who ended his career playing with Malacia in Rotterdam at the pair's boyhood club, has weighed in on how Malacia has performed so far and was very complimentary of his showings.
