Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia has appreciated the support of Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw in his first season in England.

The former Feyenoord youngster has impressed when called upon - at times with Shaw moved to centre-back - and has quickly developed a strong relationship with Rashford down the left, his energy on the overlap opening up spaces for the in-form forward to work his magic.

We give each other energy, we speak a lot with each other and, in the dressing room, we sit next to each other," Malacia told MUTV of Rashford. We have a good connection, that's important and you can see it on the pitch."

And on his relationship with Shaw, the Dutchman said: It's the same as with Marcus - we have a good connection and we talk a lot with each other. He [Luke] has been here quite a while and he knows how everything works on the pitch and with the club.

"If I have questions, I can always ask him and he helps me."
