Tyrell Malacia | Man Utd player

Thank God Lingard isn't here to corrupt him
Yeah, or translated. Obviously nothing 'bad' behind it, but it just struck me cause 'whilst' always seems so very UK English to me.
Not sure why but I have this feeling he’s going to be a bit of a cult hero here.
and a RW and a RB and a DM
there’s just far too much to do in one window. At least we are almost a blank slate. Sancho DDG and Varane are probably the only nailed on starting players for the next few seasons at the club currently.
Welcome to The Biggest Club in the world.
It's probably a coincidence though. Going by all the news/rumours, United are working on quite a few transfers simultaneously, and this just happened to be the first one that got done. There's no sign that I've seen that Malacia was signed first out of prioritization considerations. People just like to create narratives too much.
Just read the full interview with him on the website. Football wise we'll just have to wait and see but in terms of personality and mindset he seems like an absolute gem.
Young, hungry and talented players are exactly what that dressing room needs.

He needs to LOVE THIS GAME
I am not gonna lie, I have not heard his name before we were linked to him. Assuming it was the wish of ETH to sign him I am glad that we got him.
Oh I’m sure it’s a coincidence. Doesn’t make it any less of a weird situation to end up in.
Oh, yeah, it looks funny. But I'm sure a couple of people are already cursing at Murtough and Ten Hag and Arnold and others as being clueless idiots for singing a left back first, and that'd be ridiculous.
But then some people can't be helped, I guess.
Good luck kid.
I'm absolutely buzzing about this signing. Admittedly I saw YouTube videos a few weeks ago and I think I said then, this guy reminds me of Patrice Evra, which is high praise because he's one of my favourite United players for many reasons. I don't think another signing this summer will top how excited I am to see him play.
A perfect signing in many ways - talent, cost, attitude. This is the best signing we've made in a long, long time.

I get that vibe too.
One of the problems with our squad over the last few years is that very few our players play with any joy. Time will tell all, but this kid has joy written all over him. Tons of energy, a massive smile and great character on the pitch. About whom we can say that -- all three -- about anyone on the squad now?
Welcome to Manchester United! Hope he does well.
LB is a concern, however. Shaw is not reliable and somewhat overweight when he does play. Telles just isn’t good enough. LB should be a priority. The problem is, so are all positions bar LW and arguably goalie.
Looking forward to never seeing Luke Shaw jog again. All he does is back off, and back off, and back off, and if his man runs past him, he'll jog after him too.
I have no idea who this guy is but welcome
Welcome!
Got a good feeling about this one.
Yeah apart from maybe the number 10, where of course we have Fernandes, VdB and the promising Hannibal and Shoretire....
Next up, Eriksen
Okay, I can finally see the highlights of this guy on YouTube now. Really don't want to see highlights of players we are linked to, but don't end up being United players. Lazy? Maybe. Effective? Very much!

Just so long as we don’t sign a striker or defensive midfielder. Let’s not lose the run of ourselves here…
One thing I've noticed from his highlight videos, he's the type of player to get the crowd loud in Old Trafford - be it with a crunching tackle or a drive forward with the ball. This cannot be understated for the upcoming season as Old Trafford was presented with little to get rowdy for last season.
I preferred The Don supper bar.
ten Hag is so excited, love to see it
That is the one. Well done.
If he hurts his knee, we can call him chondromalacia.
ten Hag is so excited, love to see it
I hecking love Erik already.
Oh Malacia, we are down on our knees
Begging you to kindly be not as bad/unreliable as our current fullback options.

Yes, I feel Shaw is a tough player to motivate. He is a great LB on his day, but he just doesn't sprint enough! Seems to wait for the ball too much and is not aggressive enough (bursting a lung) in getting back.
Good luck kid!
I know absolutely nothing about the guy, and wouldn’t have thought left back was a top priority when we have limited funds, but I could have said the same about Evra when he sighed so Welcome and good luck!
