Fabrizio Romano admits Manchester United’s deal to sign Tyrell Malacia was one of this summer’s transfers that surprised him most.
The Italian reporter always has his finger on the pulse of the latest transfer news, but it seems the Malacia deal was one that slightly caught him off guard due to the quick nature of Man Utd’s move.
The Red Devils hijacked Malacia’s move to Lyon, which was looking like going through, and Romano didn’t expect things to change so quickly regarding the young Dutchman.
Malacia, a 22-year-old left-back, ended up joining United from Feyenoord, and it looks like it could end up being a fine piece of business by the Premier League giants.
“The signing that surprised me the most was Tyrell Malacia at Manchester United,” Romano revealed in his exclusive CaughtOffside column.
“He was really one step away from joining Olympique Lyonnais, then seeing Man United hijacking the deal in 24 hours was quite unexpected.”
MUFC fans can be pleased with how this went, and they’ll hope for further promising updates in due course, with Romano admitting that an official announcement on Lisandro Martinez should only be hours away.
it was wonderful
Man utd ahould leave frank de jong coz he dont want to leave Barcelona why they still persuade him i dont know they look for other midfielder unless they are taking risk and got empty handed
Another player man utd must sign pau torres why they are siginig him i dont know rest of the player are ok if ronaldo leave buy a striker
One more thing they should sell victor lindeoff, eric baily, phil jones
Bailey should not be sold

We are tired of de jong rat rat game..let’s leave the damn boy alone..let’s focus on signing Ruben never..he is better than tht silky Barca boy
Tielesmans is far better than de jong and more adapted to the league.
