Manchester United have signed left-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord for a reported fee of £12.9m.
The young player who is described as the best left back in Holland almost signed for
Lyon but United hijacked the deal at the last minute.
The 22-year-old has penned a contract until June 2026, with the option to extend for a further year.
Malacia becomes United's first signing of the summer transfer window under new manager Erik ten Hag.
“It’s an incredible feeling to have joined Manchester United," Malacia told the club website.
"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.
“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.”
