‘Definitely collapsed’: Fabrizio Romano drops devastating update on 25yo Man Utd ace, he already said ‘farewell’ to team-mates | OneFootball

Manchester United have suffered a late setback in the winter transfer window.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Tyrell Malacia’s loan move to Benfica has ‘definitely collapsed’.

The two clubs fail to reach to an agreement on loan fee and future buy option.

It will undoubtedly come as a shock to many United supporters, especially since Malacia had already said ‘farewell’ to his teammates.

United are looking at alternatives ‘as there are several loan requests’ for the Dutch international.

Tyrell Malacia has to find a new club

With just two days left in the transfer window, United are racing against the clock to secure a new destination for Malacia.

The left-back was sidelined for the entire 2023/24 season after suffering a knee injury.

He underwent multiple surgeries, which extended his time on the sidelines to a frustrating 17 months.

His return to United has not gone as planned.

Struggling to find his rhythm, a loan move for the remainder of the season now seems like the most sensible option.

He needs consistent playing time to rebuild his confidence and regain the trust he once had in his body.

Manager Ruben Amorim cannot provide that opportunity as requires players who can immediately make an impact and help turn United’s fortunes around.

The Red Devils are expected to announce the signing of Patrick Dorgu within the next 48 hours.

The 20-year-old is a left-footed player who can feature at the left wing-back spot.

His arrival could potentially align with Malacia’s departure.
