In just a few months in the dugout, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has stamped his authority. The winter transfer window marks his first opportunity to address areas of need, and as a result, Tyrell Malacia is set to leave the club on loan to PSV.<\/span><\/p>\n

Malacia Move to PSV Impending<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fabrizio Romano<\/span><\/a>\u00a0has stated that PSV are “closing in” on signing Tyrell Malacia on loan from Manchester United. The Dutch defender will return to his homeland to play for PSV pending a medical.<\/span><\/p>\n

The message from Amorim is clear. He has implemented a 3-4-2-1 formation and requires robust wing-backs as a key part of this system. Until now, he has <\/span>mostly trusted<\/span> Noussair Mazraoui or Diogo Dalot, who typically play on the right side of the field, to take on the responsibility of this position.<\/span><\/p>\n

And his first signing at the club was Patrick Dorgu. <\/span>The 20-year-old, who played for Lecce, is a prime candidate for the <\/span>role of a left wing-back<\/span>.<\/span> His arrival now signals even fewer opportunities for Malacia, who may have already considered going elsewhere for the good of his career.<\/span><\/p>\n

Malacia Missed His Moment at Manchester United<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Malacia was the first signing of Erik ten Hag’s<\/a> reign at Manchester United, moving to the Premier League for a fee of \u00a313 million from Conference League finalists Feyenoord. The transfer seemed a decent buy for a player who could be a backup to Luke Shaw and fight for a starting spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

But injuries have hampered playing time for a player who finds himself\u00a0<\/span>“unwanted”<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at the club. Shaw cemented his position as a starting left back <\/span>and<\/span> Malacia then missed the whole of the previous campaign following a surgery on his knee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon his return in December, Malacia has rotated with Dalot and Mazraoui as a left wing-back. But his time on the field has been limited.\u00a0<\/span>Amorim<\/span><\/a>\u00a0admitted that his fitness needs improvement: “It\u2019s <\/span>really<\/span> hard on Malacia. It is a long time without playing, and then it’s hard to play <\/span>a lot of<\/span> games.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Malacia never made a mark at Manchester United, but a loan to PSV might put him back in a groove.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
