After undergoing knee surgery in the summer of 2018, the 24-year-old defender, who had previously played for Feyenoord and had joined the club in 2022 for roughly £15 million, has not been active since then.
It was on May 28, 2023 that he played his final match for United. Initially, it was anticipated that Malacia would return to the squad in February; however, Erik ten Hag later disclosed that it was highly likely that Malacia would be sidelined for the entirety of the 2023/24 season.
Ten Hag made the following observation: “I believe that it is going to be challenging for him to be available this season as well.” When Malacia stopped posting on social media, his followers grew even more anxious.
His final Instagram post was dated July 11, 2023, and his last tweet appeared shortly after that. On the other hand, he was observed on the Wembley pitch on Saturday afternoon, when he was celebrating with his teammates after United defeated Manchester City in the FA Cup final by a score of 2-1.
Upon his return from his extended absence, his fans were overjoyed to encounter him.
The words “Can’t tell you how happy I am to see Malacia” were spoken by one of the fans, while another supporter inquired, “Is that Tyrell Malacia in the line for a medal????” An other supporter stated, “It is heartening to see Tyrell Malacia out there with the United team as they celebrate their victory in the FA Cup.”
In the upcoming season, we should hopefully be able to watch him in action. Seeing Tyrell Malacia was highlighted by another individual as being the most enjoyable aspect of this game.
In a conversation that took place earlier in the week with Voetbal International, Erik ten Hag discussed Malacia.
He made the observation that Tyrell Malacia did not participate in any football games throughout the current season. “In point of fact, he did not even spend a single second on the training pitch,” the spokesperson said.
He was brought on board to serve as our backup for Luke Shaw. Shaw, who was sidelined for a significant portion of the season due to an injury, was also praised by Ten Hag.
According to what he said, Luke Shaw is the best left back in the entire globe. “This individual is really talented.
On the other hand, he encountered a terrible injury at the beginning of his career, and as a consequence, he will never be able to participate in sixty games throughout a single season. The number of injuries has been absolutely insane.
