What Did Manchester United Pay For Tyrell Malacia?
Malacia’s transfer fee was £13 million ($16 million) with add-ons, which are estimated to be around £2 million ($2.4 million).
How Long Is Malacia’s Contract With Man Utd?
The 22-year-old has agreed to a four-year contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until the end of the 2025-26 season, with the option to extend for another year.
Who is Man Utd’s Latest Signing Tyrell Malacia?
Malacia’s performance against Ajax in the Eredivisie impressed Ten Hag, prompting the new Red Devils manager to make a bid this summer.
Malacia has been a part of the Feyenoord youth academy for 14 years after enrolling at the age of nine in 2008.
He has played for the Netherlands in five senior matches, and his move to United may help boost his reputation enough to secure him a spot at the Qatar World Cup in 2022.
His former coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst said that “any winger will have a headache the night before playing against Malacia; he is quick, agile, and a great work ethic.”
