Tyrell Malacia 'DIDN'T agree' with Louis van Gaal's decision to trial him at centre back for Holland against Belgium... but defiant Dutch boss insists the Man United left back 'did very well' in a new role

Manchester United left back Tyrell Malacia has revealed he took issue with Louis van Gaal's decision to trial him at centre back in Holland's win over Belgium.

Malacia played 45 minutes as left centre back alongside Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk and Inter Milan's Stefan de Vrij.

With Bruno Martins Indi expected to miss the World Cup in Qatar, Van Gaal is seeking solutions at centre back and gave Malacia a trial in the role, not to the buy-in of the United left back.

'I went two or three times too much forward,' Malacia told reporters, as quoted by Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.
