"I would like to sign English players because I think there is only one criteria and that's quality in combination with the price. It looks like English players are quite expensive. It's a fact you cannot deny. In the end, it's about quality."Tyrell Malacia cost United £12.9 million and he has looked tidy and composed in his first couple of outings. What will please ten Haag, and United fans, most about their opener was how both fullbacks combined to set up Anthony Martial to volley home. Malacia dribbled down the left wing, cut in-field and found Diogo Dalot with his right foot. The Portuguese controlled the pass on his chest and played a lovely, disguised pass that Martial finished from close range. Jadon Sancho, who had featured in the build-up, immediately turned to applaud Dalot for the assist. United's full-backs have not been the greatest, in the past couple of seasons, in terms of goals and assists, so this is a promising, new wrinkle in their attack. https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/1549342126177132546
Maguire is expected to remain a key figure in the team this season and partner Raphael Varane in defence, though he faces fresh competition from Lisandro Martinez for the left sided centre-back position.
As well as Martinez, Christian Eriksen and Tyrell Malacia have also joined the club and work is still being done to try to sign Ten Hag's number one target: Frenkie de Jong.
