Manchester United are close to completing a deal for the left-back, after reaching an agreement with the Dutch club.

A sell-on clause is expected to be included in the package, which is expected to be around £13 million. Agreeing personal terms with a young person shouldn't be a problem.

The Dutch club recently confirmed a fee had been agreed on, after United accelerated their interest in Malacia.

New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag takes charge of his first training session since joining the club from Ajax

The agreement with Man United is there, according to the director of Feyenoord. We are waiting for someone else.

A transfer to Manchester United is imminent if Malacia agrees.

The 22-year-old's speed, awareness, and ability to attack space were some of the things that were appreciated by the 10-year-old.

The club's top target this summer is Malacia, who shares an agency with Frenkie de Jong. The agency is also representing Victor Lindelof.

United have returned to pre-season training this week and Ten Hag is in charge of the first session.

  • The best LB in Eredivisie? Why Man Utd want Malacia

Sky Sports News has a reporter.

The left-back is where Man United are strongest. There isn't a need for them.

He is the best left-back in the Eredivisie according to one person. Malacia is fast and likes to move quickly. When a defender has to go back, you see a lot of flashy recovery tackles, but I worry about that.

Man United fans want him to get involved in the play going forwards because he puts in so much yards. The way you attack can be changed by a dynamic player.

Basic agreement for De Jong

The basis of an agreement is there, but there are still many issues to be worked out.

Talks are progressing well over an initial £56m deal for the BarcelonaMidfielder which has allowed United to pivot to other players on a short list for their rebuild

The Barcelona player has four years left on his current contract and is not expected to have a problem with his personal terms.

He was part of the squad that won the Eredivisie and KNVB Cup double, as well as reaching the semi-finals of the European competition.

The departure of Juan Mata, Matic and Pogba has left the club short of options in the middle of the park.

Man Utd needs an upgrade in the middle of the field if they want to play a "dominant, dictating" style of football. Peter Smith wrote about Frenkie de Jong as a solution.

The stylishMidfielder does his best work from deep, stepping past challenges or threading a pass through the lines to move his team up the pitch

He doesn't give the ball away often. He had a 91 per cent passing rate in La Liga last season and, as well as that metric, also surpassed McTominay and Fred in metrics measuring dribble success, touch quality and how frequently they are dispossessed.

It's not the only answer to United's problems, but an upgrade to their central midfield department and a way of playing Ten Hag's desires would be good.

Man Utd hopeful over Eriksen

Christian Eriksen is a possibility for United to sign.

The final decision on the deal is up to the player.

Sky Sports News reported last week that he will choose between the two.

United understands that his decision will be more than just a football decision.

He trained with his team as he recovered from his cardiac arrest at the Euros.

The United are still interested in Lisandro and Antony.

Both were regulars at the club.

While central defence is not a priority position, United are looking at ways to improve.

There could be departures in the defensive area. After assessing his squad, Ten Hag wants to make a decision.

Antony wants the chance to talk to United about a move, but it's not easy to do. It's likely that valuations are high and that they're not going to be sold.

The United have been keeping a close eye on the situation.
