Manchester United are one of twelve clubs chasing Feyenoord defender Tyrell Malacia, according to reports in the Netherlands.
The Red Devils have been linked with several stars in the Netherlands following the arrival of Erik ten Hag from Ajax as their new manager.
And left-back Malacia is just one of those names, with the 22-year-old having made 32 appearances in the Dutch top flight in an impressive campaign for a Feyenoord side that fell to a 1-0 defeat to Jose Mourinho’s Roma in the Europa Conference League final.

And, as per the Telegraaf, the Red Devils are one of a dozen clubs, that includes French side Lyon, keen on the defender. However, the Ligue 1 side are thought to be ahead of United at present.
I am told that Tyrell Malacia, a player who has reportedly been watched by Manchester United in recent months, is in talks to sign for Lyon. No deal is done, but it is currently advancing
