Elche are keen to sign Tyrell Malacia on loan from Manchester United
Manchester United are in bad shape both on and off the field these days. A League Two team like Grimsby Town knocked them out of the Carabao Cup, and this defeat was no less than a shock for every United fan. In the first half of the match, Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren scored goals, and the team fell behind 2-0.
In the second half, Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire scored goals to equalise, but the defeat in the penalty shootout was disastrous. Grimsby goalkeeper Christy Pym, who is himself a United fan, made a decisive save and shattered the dreams. Questions on Amorim’s coaching have deepened as the Premier League has also started weakly for the club. At the same time, the Red Devils are struggling to get rid of those players in the transfer market who are no longer in the team’s plans, and one of them is Tyrell Malacia.
Tyrell Malacia’s future and Elche’s interest
Tyrell Malacia was bought by Manchester United from Feyenoord and was initially considered a promising signing. However, injuries and a drop in performance have seen him gradually drop out of the team. He had several chances under Erik ten Hag, but now he does not seem to be in Ruben Amorim’s plans.
Elche are keen to sign Tyrell Malacia on loan from Manchester United.
Tyrell Malacia on Elche’s radar
This is why the club want to send him away this summer. Reports suggest that Elche, who are trying to maintain their place in La Liga, want to take Malacia on loan. According to Spanish journalist Matteo Moretto, as relayed by Manchester Evening News, Elche have started working on a deal and are looking to finalise talks with United soon.
However, it is also being said that France’s Lille are also in the race and are considering adding the Dutch left-back to their defence. This is a chance for United to temporarily send out a player who is currently out of place at Old Trafford. Playing in a league like La Liga could prove to be good for Malacia to start his career afresh. He could get regular playing time in Elche, and perhaps that would help him regain his lost rhythm. Meanwhile, Internacional reject Al-Nassr’s offer for Manchester United target, set €20m valuation.
How will the player and the club benefit from moving to Elche
Now the question is who will benefit from this deal, and the answer is clear that both will. Manchester United will be relieved as the burden of an unnecessary player will be removed for some time, and at the same time, they will be able to save some part of his salary. On the other hand, the Dutchman will get a chance to play in a place where there is less pressure, and he can prove himself again without any big noise.
This move will also be beneficial for Elche as they will get an experienced defender in the Premier League who can strengthen their defence immediately. Most importantly, there are only four days left for the transfer window to close, and United have to show speed. If the deal is done on time, it will bring relief to everyone, and Malacia will get a fresh start, which he desperately needs. The club would have wanted to sell the 26-year-old left-back permanently as we have Diego Leon and Luke Shaw, but there are absolutely no suitors for him, and that’s why a loan move to any club would be a good result for us for the time being.
