Tyrell Malacia made his first appearance in 17 months, representing Manchester United's Under-21 team in the EFL Trophy, after overcoming a long-term knee injury.
Former interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy praised Malacia's progress, stating he was almost ready to return. The matchup against Huddersfield marked an invaluable chance for Malacia to regain match fitness and rhythm.
With Manchester United's left-back options limited due to injuries, Malacia's return could not have come at a more crucial time, especially with Luke Shaw also sidelined long-term.
Malacia’s absence left United without cover in the left-back position, as he featured prominently as a squad player during the 2022/23 season.
