Manchester United blocks Tyrell Malacia’s loan
Tyrell Malacia was about to join Besiktas on loan when Manchester United intervened on deadline day, as reported by Samuel Luckhurst.
The left-back was on his way to Istanbul for a medical when he was told to return to Old Trafford after a decision made by Jason Wilcox.
“Tyrell Malacia, who was about to board a plane to Turkey, is confused by Jason Wilcox’s decision to block his transfer.”
Injuries to fellow defenders Harry Amass and Patrick Dorgu have complicated the situation for Malacia.
Injuries lead to last-minute change at Carrington
Manchester United’s choice was driven by increasing worries in the left-back position due to injuries.
Reports indicate Malacia was left disappointed by the unexpected change after he had expected the move to proceed.
Patrick Dorgu is anticipated to be out for about ten weeks due to a hamstring injury, with other players also facing setbacks recently.
This situation led United to stop Malacia’s transfer, despite his limited playing time this season and the advanced stage of the loan deal.
