'I choose Malacia in my team': Holland legend Wesley Sneijder backs Manchester United full-back to start at the World Cup

Holland legend Wesley Sneijder says he thinks Tyrell Malacia should start for the Dutch at this winter's World Cup.

Malacia has been in fine form since replacing Luke Shaw in Manchester United's starting XI following the crushing 4-0 defeat at Brentford.

The 23-year-old has been one of the standout performers as Erik ten Hag's men have turned their start to the season around, earning particular praise for his performances against Arsenal and Liverpool.

He already has five caps for his country and World Cup finalist Sneijder thinks he should be starting in Qatar.
