Manchester United reintegrates Tyrell Malacia after summer exile

Tyrell Malacia is set to return to Manchester United's first-team training after being part of a group of players labeled the 'bomb squad' by head coach Ruben Amorim, which also included Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Antony. Unlike the others, Malacia, who spent the second half of last season on loan at PSV Eindhoven, was unable to secure a move away after a last-minute transfer to Elche fell through. The 26-year-old had been training with the under-21 squad but has now been reintegrated with the senior team, a planned decision by the club not related to injuries or recent results. Malacia's return comes amid Manchester United's challenging season, with Amorim facing intense scrutiny due to poor team performances. Despite his injury history and limited recent appearances, the club and manager remain supportive, and Malacia could feature in upcoming fixtures, including a home game against Sunderland. His contract situation remains uncertain, with the club holding an option to extend but no clear indication of future plans beyond this season.
