Erik ten Hag knows the player well, having come up against him in the Eredivisie, and the 5ft 7ins Malacia is an attacking full-back who is considered a good fit for the brand of football the new United manager wants to play.
The arrival of Malacia, who has won five caps with Holland, is likely to signal the end of Alex Telles' United career. The Brazilian failed to impress last season and United will listen to offers for him for the remainder of this transfer window.
