Overview

• Elche have opened talks with Manchester United to take Tyrell Malacia on loan for the season, according to reporting relayed by EPL Index from VI, with no agreement announced.
• Lille have been named as a potential alternative destination, as first reported by Matteo Moretto and cited by Football España.
• Malacia has struggled for continuity since joining United from Feyenoord in 2022 for about €15 million.
• The defender’s most recent loan at PSV yielded only 696 minutes across 12 appearances after a lengthy injury layoff.
• United have multiple left-backs available, and Malacia remains under contract until 2026, making a loan a pathway to consistent game time.
