Malacia has had a disappointing outing with Manchester United ever since he moved to the club from Feyenoord in 2022. He has been plagued with severe injuries and appeared for the club in November last year for the first time since March 2023. The left-back was expected to finally stake claim with new manager Ruben Amorim in charge, however, according to Voetbal International, the player has reached an agreement with the club over a January move.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The report adds that Malacia will leave the club temporarily on a loan deal in the January transfer. While the name of the club remains undisclosed, the 25-year-old will certainly move out of United for better opportunities. In the current season, the defender has appeared in only six matches across all competitions and has clocked just 272 minutes on the pitch.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID
On Malacia's move, Voetbal International journalist Joost Blaauwhof said: "Tyrell Malacia is leaving Manchester United. Sources close to the player have confirmed this. The left-back is close to an agreement with a new club and will be loaned to a top European competition. Ruben Amorim has given approval for the loan."
