Ruben Amorim is set to reintegrate Tyrrell Malacia into the main squad of Manchester United. Despite the former Sporting coach making it clear that he did not count on the Dutchman's services upon his arrival at Old Trafford, the full-back is once again an option for his team.

According to information advanced by the newspaper A Bola, the red devils' coach has shown concern about the left corridor of his defense, thus deciding that the 26-year-old defender should be reintegrated to compete with Patrick Dorgu. The decision may surprise some, as Diego León and Luke Shaw are in the squad and occupy the same position.

In this way, Tyrrell Malacia is back to work under the guidance of Ruben Amorim. After it was clear that the Portuguese coach - who is being challenged by his own players - did not count on his services, the Dutchman did not find a new club in the transfer market and was set aside at Manchester United, training with the reserve team.

It is worth remembering that the left-back was the only surplus at Old Trafford who did not have his dossier resolved. Antony, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, André Onana, Victor Lindelof and Rasmus Hojlund found new clubs in this transfer market. Christian Eriksen saw his contract end, while Jonny Evans ended his career on the pitch.

Still without any minutes in the new season, Tyrrell Malacia - valued at 8 million euros - played nine games for Manchester United, before being loaned to PSV in the winter market of the last season. The Dutchman completed 361 minutes, without any goal or assist.
