Tyrell Malacia is on his way to Manchester to sign a four-year contract with the Red Devils from Feyenoord.

Intrepid fans have identified that the left-back is scheduled to fly this afternoon and arrives in Manchester later this evening.

Well connected Feyenoord site 1908.nl shared a tweet earlier which showed Malacia's prospective journey today.

The account also shared details of the contract, which is thought to be a four-year deal with the option of a fifth, and taken care of by his management firm. The fee will be in the region of €20m.
