Tyrell Malacia expressed his delight at becoming the first signing of Erik ten Hag's Manchester United reign.


The Dutch left-back completed a £14.7m move from Eredivisie side Feyenoord to Old Trafford and put pen to paper on a four-year contract, with the option to extend a further year.


United got the transfer done last week as they agreed a fee worth around an initial £13m, with a further £1.7m in add-ons and a potential sell-on clause.



Speaking about his move to Man United, Malacia told the club's official website: "It's an incredible feeling to have joined Manchester United. This is a new chapter for me, a new league with new team-mates and a tremendous manager [Erik ten Hag] 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."



Manchester United football director John Murtough added: "Tyrell is an exciting, dynamic young footballer with excellent experience for his age, including five seasons in the Eredivisie, a European final, and full international honours for the Netherlands.


"We look forward to seeing him continue to develop under the guidance of Erik ten Hag and his coaching team in the years ahead."
