Tyrell Malacia Brought Back Into Manchester United First-Team Group

United plan a phased reintroduction after a 517-day knee layoff.

Overview

  • Malacia met head coach Ruben Amorim at Carrington on Tuesday and has been welcomed back after recent academy sessions.
  • Amorim said he will begin with contact work with the Under-21s before United decide on next steps.
  • The left-back trained away from the squad in pre-season in a group widely dubbed the 'bomb squad' and also worked out at Trafford FC.
  • A proposed loan to Elche fell through on deadline day, interest was limited, and he remained on United’s registered Premier League squad.
  • He made eight appearances on loan at PSV last season after two knee surgeries kept him out for 517 days, returning first with the U21s last November.
