Tyrell Malacia sent a one-word message to Manchester United transfer target Orkun Kokcu.

A fresh Mirror report has claimed several Premier League clubs had scouts at the De Klassieker this week - Dutch football’s high-profile derby between Ajax and Feyenoord.

Scouts from United, Tottenham, Brighton, Leicester, West Ham and Brentford reportedly attended the fixture to watch the highly-rated Feyenoord pair Kokcu and Santiago Gimenez.

Kokcu, who is also allegedly a target for Benfica, is Feyenoord’s captain and has been central to the club's fortunes as they chase down their first Eredivisie title in six years.

The 22-year-old, who represents Turkey despite having been born in Holland, has also played a role in Feyenoord’s run to the Europa League quarter-finals.

The Mirror claim that representatives from clubs on the continent, including Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, Monaco and Lyon were also in attendance to see Ajax win 2-1.

Malacia sends message to Kokcu

Malacia, who came through Feyenoord's youth system before moving to United last summer, sent a message to Kokcu on social media.

The 23-year-old shared a picture from Kokcu’s Instagram, in which the midfielder is celebrating alongside team-mate Igor Paixao.

Malacia captioned the Insta story “Bijna”, a Dutch word that translates to “almost” - potentially referring to the fact Feyenoord are closing in on the Eredivisie title.

Beyond Kokcu, United are also thought to be eyeing up moves for Brighton duo Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo in an attempt to bolster their midfield options.

The club are also looking for a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, and are reportedly weighing up on whether to sign Tottenham striker Harry Kane or Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano also claimed United have held talks with the representatives of Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong, who has netted eight times and claimed five assists in the Bundesliga from the right-back position this term.
