Tyrell Malacia has had a solid start to his Manchester United career across his opening two pre-season games.
After coming off the bench at half-time in both wins over Liverpool and Melbourne Victory, Malacia is yet to concede a goal in a Manchester United shirt.
The new signing from Feyenoord has looked sharp in defence and positive going forward, just offering a glimpse of what he is capable of.
It also sounds like Malacia is impressing behind the scenes too, with new teammate Victor Lindelof signing his praises.

Malacia is impressing in United training
Lindelof told United’s club website that Tyrell Malacia appears to be a good fit for the squad and has made a good early impression.
The Swede said: “He’s been great. I’ve talked to him a little bit, and he seems like a great guy, and I think he’s going to fit right in with the squad with all of the guys.
“I’m looking forward to training with him more and working with him, but he is looking really, really good.”
United’s new number 12 will look to start one of the upcoming tour matches and get himself further embedded into the team.
The 22-year-old is hoping to kick on and earn himself a place in United’s line-up on the opening day ahead of Luke Shaw. With Alex Telles being asked to fill in at centre-back, it appears Malacia is Shaw’s top biggest competition.
Malacia was United’s first summer signing, and he has been followed in the last couple of days by Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez, although neither are expected to link up with the squad on pre-season tour in Australia.
