Manchester United has completed its first signing in the transfer window after Dutch star Tyrell Malacia wrapped up his medical.

The young Dutch defender joins the English side from Feyenoord in a deal worth £13 million.

Malacia, 22, signed a four-year contract that would keep him at the club till June 2026, with an option to extend for a further year.

“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,” Malacia said Tuesday after his transfer move was completed.

This comes a day after the 13th time champions of England got the green light to sign Denmark’s maestro, Christain Eriksen, on a free transfer from Brentford.

Whilst preparing for their upcoming international tour, several players have been heavily linked with the several players such as Frankie De Jong and Lisandro Martinez.

In April, United appointed Erik ten Hag to replace Ralph Ragnick in a bid to boost the club’s chance at the Champions League as well as the English Premier League.
