Tyrell Malacia's first words as Man Utd player perfectly hint at Erik ten Hag plan

Tyrell Malacia has completed his move to Manchester United and his first comments as a Red Devils player appear to explain why Erik ten Hag was so keen to sign him.

The Netherlands international looked for weeks as if he was bound for Ligue 1 giants Lyon, who submitted three bids to Feyenoord - the third of which was accepted. However, United offered an extra £2million and saw their proposal of £15m plus an extra £2m in add-ons accepted by the Eredivisie outfit.

After some minor delays in announcing the deal due to some issues surrounding Malacia's representatives, the 22-year-old can now call himself a United player after penning a four-year contract that contains the option to extend for a further year.
