Manchester United left-back Tyrell Malacia has reportedly agreed to leave the club on loan, with negotiations underway with Champions League side Benfica, according to Sportskeeda. According to Fabrizio Romano, Malacia has given his consent to join the Portuguese club on a temporary basis, as he seeks to revive his career and gain regular playing time.
The Dutch defender has struggled to establish himself as a first-choice player at Manchester United, making only nine appearances so far this season. With the club reportedly close to signing Lecce left-back Patrick Dorgu, Malacia’s chances of regular playing time appear to be dwindling.Tap Here for the Full Story
Benfica, who are currently competing in the Champions League, have emerged as a potential destination for Malacia, with the club eager to strengthen their defensive options. The Portuguese side has a rich history of developing young players, and Malacia may see the move as an opportunity to regain his confidence and form.
The negotiations between Manchester United and Benfica are reportedly at an advanced stage, with the two clubs discussing the terms of the loan deal. Malacia’s agent has been in talks with Benfica officials, and it is believed that the player has already agreed to join the club on a temporary basis.
The loan move would be a positive development for Malacia, who has struggled to adapt to the intense style of play under Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese coach has preferred to use right-back Diogo Dalot in the left wing-back role, leaving Malacia to warm the bench.
Malacia’s departure would also have implications for Manchester United, who would be able to assess the player’s performances during his time at Benfica. The club would have the option to recall Malacia if he impresses during his loan spell, or potentially use the experience as a stepping stone to a permanent transfer.Tap Here for the Full Story
