Former Feyenoord’s defender defender Tyrell Malacia was all smiles on Tuesday as he got his contract sealed with Manchester United from Feyenoord for four years which terminates by June 2026, with the option of a further year.
The Netherlands international, 22, will cost 15m (£13m) euros with a further 2m (£1.7m) euros in add-ons.
Malacia, who made 136 appearances for Feyenoord, is the first new arrival of Erik ten Hag’s tenure as United manager following his move from Ajax.
“It’s an incredible feeling to have joined,” he said.
Malacia added: “This is a new chapter for me, a new league with new team-mates and a tremendous manager leading us.
“I know from playing against his teams in the Eredivisie, the qualities that he has and what he demands of his players.
“While 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.”
The left-sided defender had been in talks with French club Lyon before United stepped in.
