Footage has emerged from a match between Feyenoord and Ajax when Malacia certainly caught the eye.

While at Ajax Ten Hag was asked whether he wanted to sign the 22-year-old.

He replied: “We do think he is a good player, yes.

“A transfer for Malacia to us is not an issue in the first place. Before we get all speculations again; it does not play at all.

“We can accommodate a departure of [Nicolas] Tagliafico within our current selection. If it is really necessary, we have a shadow list indeed. Whether Malacia is on that list? I’m not going to tell you.”

The Dutchman did not act on his interest in Malacia while in Eredivisie but he is ready to swoop now.

Negotiations between United and Malacia are underway and the defender could be set to agree personal terms despite interest from Lyon.
