Manchester United have reportedly reached an agreement with Turkish club Eyüpspor for the transfer of former Feyenoord defender Tyrell Malacia.
United are expected to offload the Netherlands defender on loan, having been unable to nail down a spot in the starting XI having also suffered from injuries. The 26-year-old arrived at the club from Feyenoord in a deal worth a reported £13million before add-ons.
Malacia has made just 47 appearances at United since his switch to the club in 2022, with the majority of those coming in his first season under Erik ten Hag. He made just four appearances in total last season before spending the second half of last season on loan with PSV in the Eredivisie.
When he returned from that loan, Malacia was one of five players told to train away from the first-team group – with England forward Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho all securing moves away from the club before the English transfer deadline closed on September 1.
The defender had been linked with a deadline day move to La Liga club Elche, but a transfer would not come to fruition in time, with reports claiming a deal broke down due to a permanent clause deal in the contract.
