Robin van Persie says former Feyenoord teammate Tyrell Malacia is inspiring young footballers back in the Netherlands with his impact at Manchester United.

The left-back arrived as Erik ten Hag’s first signing as Reds boss in the summer and has played 30 times so far, briefly becoming first-choice ahead of Luke Shaw in the early stages of the season.

After leaving United for Fenerbahce in 2015, Van Persie returned to boyhood club Feyenoord in 2018, playing one season before retiring.

During that campaign, he featured alongside Malacia as the team finished third in the Eredivisie. READ ALSO: Sir Jim Ratcliffe breaks silence after takeover meeting He believes Malacia, 23, was a shrewd signing for United and unpacked what he offers Ten Hag.
