De Jong has been United's top target this summer, with the club hoping to reunite the Barcelona midfielder with Ten Hag at Old Trafford.
Reports suggest the Red Devils are in a pole position to land both De Jong and Malacia, with Sky Sports claiming a deal has already been agreed for the latter to move to the Theatre of Dreams.
How Man United could line up next season
Should De Jong and Malacia move to United next season, there is every chance they will walk straight into the starting XI.
