Manchester United Make U-Turn on 26-Year-Old Star as Jason Wilcox Blocks Transfer Right Before He Boarded Plane to Undergo Medical: Reports

Manchester United retained Tyrell Malacia after Patrick Dorgu’s hamstring injury left the club short of cover; Malacia will remain until summer despite his disappointment.

  • Deadline-Day activity saw Manchester United rescind plans to sanction Malacia's exit this month after Jason Wilcox told him he would be needed in the first-team for the rest of the season.
  • With Dorgu injured and unavailable, Manchester United sources said no deal was agreed and the club acted in its own interests while pursuing European qualification.
  • Malacia has played just two minutes this season and been an unused substitute on 14 occasions after returning from a 517-day absence in November 2024, making 12 appearances for PSV Eindhoven.
  • He will see out his contract at Manchester United and is expected to leave as a free agent in the summer window, with ability to sign a pre-contract abroad.
  • Although low in the pecking order, Malacia remains an experienced option who made his desire to leave clear five months before contract expiry and was ready to travel to Istanbul.
