Manchester United have confirmed the arrival of the 22-year-old Dutch international on a four-year deal, with the option of a further year.

Tyrell Malacia joins United from Feyenoord for a fee of €15 million (£12.9million), plus €2 million in add-ons.

The Dutchman who was at Carrington on Sunday and Monday to complete his medical has been confirmed as first signing of Erik ten Hag era at United.

The club have issued a statement on their website:

“Manchester United is pleased to confirm that Tyrell Malacia has joined the club, signing a contract until June 2026, with the option to extend for a further year.”

Tyrell Malacia said: “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 said: “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.
