Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia admits he didn’t agree with Louis van Gaal’s decision to play him as a central defender, despite Netherlands beating Belgium.
Malacia arrived at Old Trafford during the summer window and has instantly earned himself a starting berth in Erik ten Hag’s starting XI. The former Feyenoord star has managed to move ahead of Luke Shaw in the pecking order and has impressed in the opening weeks of his first Premier League season.
The 23-year-old also looks set to play a pivotal role for his nation at this winter’s World Cup, with his place on the plane to Qatar seemingly assured. And Malacia added another string to his bow on Sunday, as he helped the Oranje to an impressive 1-0 win over Belgium.
