Tyrell Malacia joined Manchester United from Ajax as their first signing of the summer transfer window.
This summer, United pursued Timber and Malacia but only signed the latter.
Jurrien Timber has sent a message to Manchester United's first signing of the summer transfer window, Tyrell Malacia of the Netherlands. Malacia, 22, has signed for an initial fee of €15 million and will join his new teammates on the club's pre-season tour.
After being appointed manager, Erik ten Hag identified Malacia as one of his main targets, and the deal was officially confirmed on Tuesday. United have also agreed to sign Christian Eriksen and are still in talks with Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong, as well as Argentine centre-back Lisandro Martinez.
Other recruits are expected to arrive as part of a much-needed rebuild, but Malacia will first bask in the spotlight as he prepares to compete with Luke Shaw for a position at left-back. His fee from Feyenoord could be increased by €2 million in add-ons.
Ten Hag was tasked with identifying and targets after leaving Amsterdam for Old Trafford at the end of last season, with a third Eredivisie title under his belt. The Dutchman initially targeted Timber, but that would-be Ajax swoop has since fallen by the wayside.
Eriksen, De Jong, and Martinez are still on United's radar, and the club is also interested in Brazilian forward Antony after he played a key role for the club last season.
Malacia took to Instagram after signing a €15 million switch to send a message to her 278,000 followers. "It's an incredible feeling to sign for Manchester United," it said. Let us savor this moment before turning our attention to the future.
Timber and other celebrities liked his post. In addition, Timber included two heart eyes emojis, as if to stamp his approval.

Chelsea has made no summer signings as of yet, despite the fact that Tuchel has already lost some players. Rudiger went to Real Madrid and Christensen went to Barcelona on free transfers after their contracts expired.
So is Lukaku, who joined Inter Milan on a temporary basis while the manager searches for a replacement or adds quality to his squad. According to the Daily Mail, the Blues are ready to make a £43 million bid to Sporting Lisbon for midfielder Matheus Nunes.
According to the Portuguese outlet A Bola, Tuchel's side is planning to make a move to bring in a first summer signing for Tuchel under Todd Boehly's ownership. Despite interest from English club Wolves, Chelsea remain the favourites to sign Matheus Nunes.
Tuchel's team will play in the Champions League next season. Last season, the 23-year-old was very impressive in Champions League matches, and Pep Guardiola singled him out for special praise after their meeting. "I would say Matheus Nunes is one of the best players in the world today," Pep says. According to a previous comment from the Daily Mail.
