“Clever operator, plays on the front foot and gives everything” – Jaap Stam gives verdict on Manchester United star
Jaap Stam knows Manchester United left-back Tyrell Malacia well from his brief time in charge of Feyenoord and has given his verdict on the 22 year old.
Stam told Football Insights: “He [Malacia] will give everything for United and will absolutely want to make the most of this opportunity. As a person, he is a good character too and he will get along with everyone in the squad.
“He’s a clever operator. He plays on the front foot and is aggressive in his challenges. He is very confident on the ball and the United fans can expect to see him bombing down the pitch, making overlaps, delivering quality crosses into the box, and also scoring goals.
“I think he will make a difference to the team, and he will add quality to the left back option and give Luke Shaw some healthy competition.
“Tactically, I think he is a good option from the bench to add pace to games, especially with the five-sub rule that is coming into effect this season.”
