Ruben Amorim, the head coach of Manchester United, expressed his high level of satisfaction with the acquisition of Patrick Dorgu from Lecce during the January transfer window.
And this is the reason why he gave the go-ahead for Tyrell Malacia to leave on loan. Malacia is expected to play as a left wingback in Luke Shaw’s absence, which will give Diogo Dalot the opportunity to play on the right side, which is his preferred position.
As reported by The Peoples Person, the international player from the Netherlands signed with PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday. The Eredivisie club has the opportunity to make the transfer permanent in the summer for a fee of ten million euros.
The loan move that the Dutch star was supposed to make to Benfica fell through at the very last minute, but United did not panic and instead found him a new home back in the Dutch league.
Malacia had the opportunity to join Wolves.
According to journalist Martijn Krabbendam, who was quoted by Voetbal Verslaafd, the 25-year-old player had the opportunity to join Wolverhampton Wanderers of the Premier League as well; however, he decided to sign with PSV, the players who currently lead the Eredivisie.
In Rotterdam, where Malacia had worked his way up through the ranks at Feyenoord, the move has obviously not been well received. However, the left-back ultimately decided to sign with PSV because his chances of earning regular minutes there were significantly higher than they were at Feyenoord.
There are a lot of people in Rotterdam who are upset about the fact that he is going to PSV. On the other hand, Feyenoord already has three left backs, and the individual in question is just making his own career decision.
It is also possible for him to join Wolverhampton Wanderers; however, if PSV comes in… If that’s the case, you’ll surely go play for PSV, right? I am able to comprehend the sentiment, but players have different ways of thinking.
Fans of Feyenoord are not pleased.
Real Betis and Celtic were also interested in acquiring his services; however, United was able to negotiate a deal that not only earned him a transfer but also allowed the club to include a sell-on clause that was thirty percent of the transfer fee.
There was something that Amorim was unable to provide the full-back with: regular minutes. Amorim has been forced to take him off the pitch at halftime when he has started for the Red Devils since his return from injury. This is because of the rustiness that he has been experiencing.
Considering that the defender had been sidelined for more than 500 days due to a knee injury, which caused him to miss the entirety of the previous season, this was something that was always anticipated.
During his first season, Malacia, who was the first player to be signed by former manager Erik ten Hag, had a relatively successful debut season. He made 39 appearances across all competitions while also serving as a reliable backup for Luke Shaw.
