'Agreement' - Manchester United player set to leave amid latest transfer update

Manchester United have the chance to bring in some new players to bolster their ranks. They also have the opportunity to let some individuals head out the exit door should they wish to.

Ruben Amorim was chosen as their replacement for Erik ten Hag earlier this winter. Prior to his switch to Old Trafford, he worked at Sporting Lisbon.

Tyrell Malacia linked with Manchester United exit

Voetbal International have reported that United left-back Tyrell Malacia has reached an ‘agreement’ to leave on loan for the rest of this season. The 25-year-old is down the pecking order at the moment.

Malacia, who is a Holland international with nine caps under his belt, joined the Red Devils back in 2022 and has since made 44 appearances in all competitions, five of which have come in this campaign. He moved to England after playing 137 games for Feyenoord.

After joining United, he said: “It’s an incredible feeling to have joined Manchester United. This is a new chapter for me, a new league with new team-mates and a tremendous manager [Erik ten Hag] leading us. I know from playing against his teams in the Eredivisie, the qualities that he has and what he demands of his players.

“Whilst I know that I am still young and will continue to develop, I can promise the United fans that I will leave everything on the pitch every time I pull on the red shirt. I’ll always be thankful to Feyenoord for all they have given to me and my family. None of this would be possible if it wasn’t for them. Now I’m ready to focus on the future with United, and help my new club achieve success.”

What now for Manchester United?

Amorim has said he had chance to speak to Sir Jim Ratcliffe last week. He said: "Yes. I had five minutes with him, to talk about different things, about the game. It was not good at the game, but, in the end, the result helped the conversation. So we continued with our job, it's a really difficult moment, but today was more important: the win. I know the fans want to see so much better football than this. I want to see so much better football than this, but we need time. Like I said in the first days here, to win time, we need to win games. We did that today, not in a good fashion, but we managed to win and we're going to prepare for the next game."

He added: “I'm trying to be really demanding with them (the players). And on the other side of that problem, I also understand when they try it, but they cannot do it. I understand when the pressure of playing at home sometimes is harder than playing away. I understand that sometimes the demands of controlling the game, all the game, against this opponent, sometimes it's harder than to face a big team with zero expectation from everybody. So, I understand these kind of details and I will try to help them be better players and [a] better team.”
