Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech has praised Tyrell Malacia after his impressive performance against Liverpool on Monday night.

Malacia was part of the United squad, which sunk the Reds 2-1 at Old Trafford as they secured their first win of the new season.

Goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford on either half of the clash were all the Red Devils needed to see off Jurgen Klopp's charges.

While Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez stole the limelight for their display in the heart of defence, Ziyech was more impressed with Malacia.

Malacia was making his full debut for the Red Devils against Liverpool and was responsible for marking Salah.

And the youngster did not disappoint as he managed to keep the Egyptian under wraps for the better part of the match.

His performance saw Ziyech take to Instagram in praise of the 23-year-old, who he described as a "young king."

Metro UK reports that Ziyech and Malacia appear to share a close bond despite not being teammates.

However, both players have had the opportunity to turn out for Ajax before moving to the Premier League.
