Tyrell Malacia could part ways with Manchester United during the ongoing winter transfer window, reports the reliable Fabrizio Romano.
United are aiming to reshape their squad to align with Ruben Amorim’s football philosophy and style of play, with the acquisition of a left-wing-back identified as a key step in this process.
The Red Devils continue to be linked to several left-sided fullbacks, casting fresh doubts over the long-term future of Luke Shaw and Malacia.
Malacia joined United in a €15 million deal from Feyenoord in July 2022. However, he has not had the best of times at Old Trafford, primarily due to injury issues that caused him to miss the entirety of last season and the early stages of the current campaign.
The Dutchman has made only 44 appearances for United, with 33 of these being starts.
A recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Serie A outfit Como are keen on signing Malacia to bolster Cesc Fabregas’ defensive options.
It was stated that there are also other unnamed suitors for the 25-year-old.
Romano has now given an update on Malacia’s transfer situation, indicating that United are indeed open to offloading him in the next few weeks.
However, according to the Italian journalist, Como do not have Malacia on their latest despite suggestions that they want him.
Romano wrote on X, “Tyrell Malacia could leave Man United now in case of good proposal, even on initial loan with buy clause.”
“But he’s not a target for Italian side Como, no talks despite reports.”
