Left-back Tyrell Malacia said it is an "incredible feeling" to join Manchester United after becoming the club's first signing of the summer transfer window.
United, who will fly out to Thailand on Friday for the start of their pre-season tour, made their move for Malacia last Tuesday, hijacking his proposed move to French club Lyon. The Reds struck an agreement with Feyenoord worth £12.9million and have been working to get the deal done in time for the start of the tour ever since.
The Netherlands international arrived in England over the weekend and, as reported by the Manchester Evening News , visited the club's Carrington training base for the second part of his medical on Monday. He has put pen to paper on a four-year deal at Old Trafford, with the option of an extra year.

Malacia told club media: "It’s an incredible feeling to have joined Manchester United. This is a new chapter for me, a new league with new team-mates and a tremendous manager [Erik ten Hag] leading us.
“I know from playing against his teams in the Eredivisie, the qualities that he has and what he demands of his players.
“Whilst I know that I am still young and will continue to develop, I can promise the United fans that I will leave everything on the pitch every time I pull on the red shirt. I’ll always be thankful to Feyenoord for all they have given to me and my family.
“None of this would be possible if it wasn’t for them. Now I’m ready to focus on the future with United, and help my new club achieve success.”
