Malacia looks a terrific prospect who could challenge for a first-team place, with Alex Telles looking a likely candidate to make way at left-back this summer.

Sources told CaughtOffside that new MUFC manager Erik ten Hag is a big fan of Malacia, who he’ll know well from his time in the Eredivisie.

United have had a quiet summer so far, but this looks a smart piece of business if it goes through as expected.

Still, fans will be hoping to see further signings in midfield and attack in the near future if Ten Hag is to really have a chance of getting this team back into the top four.
