"Malacia is somewhat of a forgotten man at Old Trafford having not featured for the club since being substituted at half-time of the Europa League win over FCSB back in January. The Dutchman, who joined United from Feyenoord for 13million in July 2022, was subsequently sent out on loan to PSV Eindhoven for the second half of last season and made 12 appearances across all competitions."
"Malacia was expected to depart in the summer transfer window amid links to Elche and Turkish outfit Eyupspor. In a surprise twist, Malacia was named in Man United's 25-man Premier League squad last week which means he is an option for Amorim at least until the January transfer window opens. Malacia won't feature for Man Utd against Chelsea on Saturday, but he is set for a return to first team training as well as game time with the Under-21s to build up his fitness."
"Speaking ahead of the Chelsea game, Amorim said: "Tyrell Malacia is returning to contact with team-mates and the ball in the U21s then we'll see." Man United's stance on Malacia is in stark contrast to the Blues' policy. Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi - two players who also failed to secure moves in the summer transfer window - are still both training away from the Chelsea first team, as part of their own bomb-squad'."
Tyrell Malacia has not played for Manchester United since being substituted at half-time of the Europa League win over FCSB in January. He joined United from Feyenoord for 13million in July 2022 and spent the second half of last season on loan at PSV Eindhoven, making 12 appearances across all competitions. Malacia was linked with moves to Elche and Eyupspor but was named in Manchester United's 25-man Premier League squad, keeping him as an option until the January window. He will not face Chelsea but will return to first-team training and play with the Under-21s to regain fitness. Manchester United's approach contrasts with Chelsea, where Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi are training away from the first team as part of a separate squad.
