Overview

• Fabrizio Romano reports Manchester United will not offer a new deal, and Malacia will leave in 2026 with a January move still possible.
• The defender’s contract runs until the summer of 2026, aligning his exit with its expiry unless a transfer materializes sooner.
• Recently reintegrated to training, he remains low in the left wing-back pecking order behind Patrick Dorgu and Diego Leon, with Luke Shaw, Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot available as alternatives.
• A deadline-day switch to Elche collapsed, and he rejected a loan to Eyupspor despite United agreeing terms.
• His career momentum stalled after a meniscus injury kept him out for around 500 days, preceding a 12-game loan stint at PSV Eindhoven.
