Malacia Leaves Manchester United for PSV Eindhoven
Manchester United announced the departure of one of their players to the Dutch league in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
In an official statement on their website, Manchester United confirmed that Dutch full-back Tyrell Malacia has joined PSV Eindhoven on loan until the end of the current season.
PSV Eindhoven also confirmed the loan deal, adding that the agreement includes an option to buy Malacia permanently.
After signing for the Dutch club, Tyrell expressed his excitement, saying, “I am happy to be here. Finally, I can play football again.”
He continued, “I have been out for a long time due to injury, but now I am ready, and I know my time will come again.”
Malacia had been absent from the pitch for almost 17 months due to a severe knee injury before recently making his return to action with Manchester United.
The 25-year-old joined Manchester United in the summer of 2022 from Feyenoord, where he played 39 matches in his first season with the club.
Injuries have disrupted Malacia’s time with Manchester United, especially this season, where he has only featured in nine matches, without scoring or assisting in any of them.
Overall, Malacia has played 47 matches for Manchester United, but he has neither scored nor assisted in those appearances. However, he was part of the team that won the English League Cup in 2023.
It’s worth noting that PSV Eindhoven currently leads the Eredivisie with 50 points, two points ahead of second-placed Ajax, who have played one match less.
In conclusion, the loan deal gives Malacia the chance to regain match fitness and play regularly while offering PSV Eindhoven the option to make his move permanent at the end of the season.
