Manchester United's new left-back Tyrell Malacia was given praise by ex-Ajax and current Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech.

The Moroccan, who is being linked with a move back to Ajax this summer, was impressed by Malacia's work as United beat Liverpool at Old Trafford on Monday.

The left-back was outstanding against Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah for much of the contest.

On Instagram, Ziyech branded Malacia as a "young king" for his performance.

He included a photo of Malacia celebrating during the game as well.

United could be adding to their ex-Eredivisie contingent in the coming days, with a move for Antony from Ajax looking likely.
