After a long injury layoff, Tyrell Malacia is struggling to reclaim a key role at Manchester United. A loan move for the Dutch defender has been considered as a potential solution, and Ruben Amorim has not ruled out this possibility.
Details: The Manchester United head coach admitted that a loan move is a real option but also emphasized the club’s responsibility to help Malacia regain full fitness while remaining with the Red Devils.
Quote: “We’ll see if he goes out on loan. All I know is that it has been very tough for Malacia. Not playing for such a long time and then suddenly having to feature in multiple games is difficult. He’s a defender, and sometimes in this system—where he played both inside and outside for the national team—it’s tough for him because it’s not as attacking.
He can play as one of the three defenders if we dominate possession and control the game more. So it’s a really difficult context for him, but he’s our player, and we will support him,” Amorim said at a press conference.
Reminder: Earlier reports suggested that Malacia could join Real Betis on loan.
