As The Peoples Person reported recently, Malacia represents a quality young international player who can provide a real challenge to Luke Shaw for the left back position. The price point is fantastic when compared to other players of his level of ability and potential.
It could represent the end for Alex Telles‘ disappointing spell at Old Trafford.
The deal could have been concluded sooner but for a complication over the player’s agency.
New manager Erik ten Hag will be thrilled to get his first deal over the line, especially as it is a player who he was filmed admiring in this video and asking his coaches to investigate the moment he first saw him play.
United fans will be delighted to hear their first “here we go” from Romano this summer and will be hoping that it will be followed by others, such as those for Frenkie de Jong, Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen.
