Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia is reportedly on the brink of completing a late move to Eredivisie outfit PSV Eindhoven.
Throughout the January transfer window, United have been open to offloading Malacia, who has struggled to fully break into Ruben Amorim’s plans.
He has been linked to clubs like Real Betis, Celtic and Benfica but nothing materialised.
At one point, it seemed like Benfica were close to securing his services until the end of the season but talks between United and the Portuguese giants eventually collapsed.
It’s understood the transfer failed to get over the line because Benfica refused to meet United’s loan valuation.
Now, Voetbal International have revealed that Malacia is one step away from joining PSV.
According to the news outlet, “Tyrell Malacia is set to become PSV’s new left back. The 25-year-old wing defender is well on his way to the Eindhoven team, insiders confirm.”
“For the Eindhoven team, the Rotterdammer was always the first choice, according to well-informed sources, and now Malacia is on his way to join the national champions.”
“PSV will loan Malacia from Manchester United for six months, provided nothing crazy happens. The former Feyenoord player is expected to play an important role in the battle for the national title.”
This news has also been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano who wrote on X, “SV Eindhoven are closing in on loan deal for Tyrell Malacia from Man United, agreement at final stages.”
“Medical booked.”

Malacia has made 47 appearances for United since his £15m move from Feyenoord, struggling with injuries since arriving at Old Trafford.
He featured 39 times during his first season under Erik ten Hag but did not play even a single minute of competitive action last term. He has played just three Premier League games so far in this campaign.
