Man UTD are preparing a January exit for Tyrell Malacia as the defender seeks game time before the World Cup

Manchester United are working on a possible January solution for Tyrell Malacia, who has yet to play a single minute this season. The Dutch left-back returned to the bench a few weeks ago for the match against Brighton, but his situation has not changed, and the player is now looking for a move to revive his career.

Malacia’s contract expires in June 2026, meaning he will be free to sign a pre-contract with another club in the coming weeks. Still, the 26-year-old prefers to leave already in January, hoping to earn playing time elsewhere and keep alive his chances of being considered for the next World Cup.
