PSV Eindhoven do not trigger the buy option for Tyrell Malacia. The left-back returns to Manchester United.
Tyrell Malacia Returns After Mixed Loan Spell
Tyrell Malacia will soon be returning to Manchester United. His loan spell at PSV Eindhoven will not be converted to a permanent deal.
PSV have enjoyed a great season finishing top of the Eredivisie. However, Malacia did not make his impact during his loan in the Netherlands. The Dutch full-back was unable to find the consistent form and playing consistency that he wanted. And so the club has passed on the opportunity to keep him.
He joined Utd in 2022 from Feyenoord for €17m under Erik ten Hag. His career has been hit hard by injuries and inconsistent performances. Now, with Ruben Amorim at the helm and United preparing for a major squad overhaul. Given that, Malacia’s future at Old Trafford looks very uncertain.
United’s Left-Back Lineup Leaves Little Room
Amorim is set to lead his first full season as Red Devils’ head coach. He’ll have to make big decisions on the players. Malacia is likely to fall down the pecking order. Luke Shaw is still a key part of the squad and young talent Diego Leon is arriving for pre-season.
There’s also talk of Harry Amass potentially getting a shot or heading out on loan. Meanwhile, Malacia is showing determination by training hard during the summer break. The competition at left-back will be fierce.
Man Utd are also struggling to attract interest for the Dutchman. That makes it tough to sell him and recover any of the original transfer fee. Players like Marcus Rashford and Antony are already being lined up for exits. Not to forget, there’s no UCL football again this season for the Red Devils.
Now, United must act fast in reshaping the squad. Whether Malacia finds a new club or stays to fight for a spot remains up in the air.
