In the midst of Erik ten Hag's ongoing rebuilding project for Manchester United, defender Tyrell Malacia has offered words of support and motivation to his fellow teammates.

Since Luke Shaw was replaced by the Dutchman at halftime of the match against Brentford a month ago, the Dutchman has started each of the subsequent games. He was able to halt the onslaught of goals that the Bees were putting on the board during United's 4-0 loss to them, and he has since gone on to record three more clean sheets for the team.

Since arriving from Feyenoord in the summer for £13 million and becoming Ten Hag's first signing as United manager, Malacia has won over the hearts of the club's supporters. Both his performance against Mo Salah in the historic victory over Liverpool by a score of 2-1 and his performance against Gabriel Martinelli in the table-topping victory by a score of 3-1 earned him a lot of praise. Arsenal is currently in first place.

He is now one of the first names on the teamsheet and will almost certainly play against Manchester City in the Manchester derby on October 2. He is now considered to be one of the first names on the teamsheet. After the international break, when Malacia will be competing for the Netherlands and hoping to earn his sixth cap for the national team, that will take place.

As the Netherlands make their way back to the World Cup after missing out on Russia 2018, the 23-year-old is a strong candidate to be included in Louis van Gaal's final roster for the tournament. In the meantime, Malacia has encouraged her other team members to maintain their tenacity in the face of adversity.
