Former Manchester United left-back Alexander Buttner has sung the praises of Tyrell Malacia.

The Holland left-back left Feyenoord for United over the summer and has shone in the opening month of the season.

Buttner told Voetbalzone: “It makes a big difference whether you play Eredivisie or Premier League, only you can adapt very quickly. I also see that happening with Malacia. I thought he was one of the best fullbacks in the Netherlands. You also just see that he is a boy with spirit, who is doing well and can stand his ground."

“You do follow that, yes. Of course I went from Vitesse to Manchester United and Malacia came from Feyenoord. Those are just nice steps. I really give it to a boy like that. I enjoy seeing the Dutch play for the great Manchester United."
