Forgotten Manchester United star could offer transfer solution with return to training

Manchester United has had several injury issues and has insignificant depth at left-back with injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. 

The Red Devils new summer signing Noussair Mazraoui can be deployed on both sides of defence with Diogo Dalot also capable.

Manchester United had been rumoured to be looking at a left-back this summer, however, it looks increasingly likely that the club will not purchase a full-back before the deadline.

Thus far Erik ten Hag has opted for Dalot as a left-back with Mazraoui on the right side of defence.

Youngster Harry Amass impressed during the pre-season tour and is expected to be introduced into the first-team action through the course of the season.

Tyrell Malacia steps up recovery with return to training

Tyrell Malacia has been spotted in training as the Dutch full-back aims to continue his rehabilitation from a long absence with different knee injuries.

Malacia was spotted in training in a video posted on Reddit. The former Feyenoord defender was spotted doing individual training as he steps up his recovery.

The defender aims to improve his fitness to return to full-team training soon and force his way back into the manager’s thoughts.

Malacia could offer a new option for Ten Hag’s defence

Malacia was the first player purchased in the Ten Hag era and had an impressive first campaign.

However, the Dutch defender struggled with injuries and has not played for the Red Devils since he faced Fulham on the 28th of May 2023.

With Lue Shaw commonly facing injury issues, Malcia will be hoping he can return to fitness and push to be an option in the squad this campaign.

He showed during his first season that he is capable of playing Ten Hag’s style of play and will be a good option to have in the squad later in the season.
