"Malacia has appeared just once for Manchester United since returning from a loan spell with PSV Eindhoven last season, a two-minute cameo off the bench versus Newcastle United on Boxing Day. He has featured more frequently, but still not regularly, for the club's Under-21 side instead. However, with news that left-sided player Patrick Dorgu is now sidelined through injury for some time, along with fellow left-sided defender Harry Amass, sporting director Jason Wilcox has made the decision to keep Malacia at the club."
"Whilst the Red Devils have allowed a handful of young players to go on loan, the club have vetoed the exit of one fringe first-teamer at a late stage of the window. It had been reported that Dutch full-back Malacia was on the verge of completing a move to a Turkish Super Lig club where he would have theoretically been able to resurrect his floundering career."
"It is now reportedly the player's intention to run down his Old Trafford contract which expires this summer, before leaving on a free transfer. This means even if Manchester United offered the 26-year-old a new contract with improved terms to protect his value and future sell-on potential, albeit unlikely at this stage, Malacia would turn it down. In turn, this would deny the club an opportunity to recoup some of the 13 million paid to Feyenoord three-and-a-half years ago."
Manchester United made no additions in the January transfer window and sent several young players out on loan while vetoing one late exit. Dutch full-back Tyrell Malacia was close to completing a move to a Turkish Super Lig club but sporting director Jason Wilcox decided to keep him after left-sided players Patrick Dorgu and Harry Amass were sidelined through injury. Malacia has made a single two-minute first-team appearance since returning from a loan at PSV Eindhoven and has mainly featured for the Under-21s. Malacia is said to be baffled and intends to run down his contract, which expires this summer, foregoing a new deal and denying the club recoupment of the £13 million fee.
