Manchester United will attempt to offload 26-year-old Dutch full-back Tyrell Malacia before the summer transfer window shuts down in other countries.
According to a report by ESPN, Tyrell Malacia is still at Manchester United despite the Premier League club’s efforts to part ways with him in the summer transfer window. La Liga club Elche CF came close to secure the Dutch full-back’s services before a deadline-day deal failed to materialise.
However, despite the failed La Liga move on deadline day in Spain, the Red Devils are yet to throw in the towel, and they are still working on offloading him. With the summer transfer window still open in Belgium, Turkiye, and Saudi Arabia, the Dutchman may still have a destination.
Tyrell Malacia and his Manchester United misery
Tyrell Malacia has seen his stock plummet despite a solid debut season with Manchester United. The 26-year-old arrived at Old Trafford in Erik ten Hag’s debut season, and he was solid at the back for the Premier League club. However, a long-term knee injury has stunted the player’s progress in the last two years, and he has barely featured for Manchester United during this period.
The Dutch full-back has made nearly 50 appearances thus far for Manchester United, amassing over 3,000 minutes of game time. However, Malacia has no future at Old Trafford, with the Red Devils ready to cash in on him in the summer transfer window after placing him in the “bomb squad” several weeks ago. However, he has yet to find a new destination.
What next?
Widespread reports links Tyrell Malacia with several well-known clubs in the summer transfer window. AS Roma briefly considered a summer move for the Manchester United outcast, having established contact over a move. Additionally, the former Feyenoord wide player came close to moving to La Liga earlier this week.
Elche held talks with Manchester United over a late move for the 26-year-old Dutchman before the move collapsed on deadline day.
