Tyrell Malacia lifts lid on transfer conversation with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag

Incoming Manchester United left-back Tyrell Malacia has revealed that he had a "good conversation" with manager Erik ten Hag and has a "very good connection" with him ahead of completing his move to Old Trafford.

United, who will jet out to Thailand on Friday for the start of their pre-season tour, reached an agreement with Feyenoord to sign the 22-year-old last Tuesday, hijacking his proposed move to Lyon. He arrived in England over the weekend and underwent the second part of his medical at Carrington on Monday.

Should all go to plan, the Netherlands international will be unveiled as United's first signing of the summer and the first addition of the Ten Hag era. The Reds have played a patient game in pursuit of signings this summer but their quick thinking to hijack Lyon's move for the defender looks set to win them this particular battle.
