A forgotten Manchester United star will make a shock return to Old Trafford ahead of next season.
His loan spell has come to an end, with the club he was on loan at opting not to trigger his buy-out clause.
Tyrell Malacia spent last season on loan at Dutch side PSV Eindhoven after being deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.
However, he will now return to Manchester but could still be sold by the Red Devils – who appear keen to offload him.
Malacia joined United from Feyenoord for £14.6m in 2022, becoming Erik ten Hag’s first signing, but after an encouraging first season he has since only managed three league games due to his horrific injury trouble.
The 25-year-old was ruled out for 18 months after a meniscus tear, a botched surgery, and then another surgery, an ordeal which reset his rehabilitation process.

However, Ruben Amorim appears to want to sell him on
The Athletic has reported that there is no firm interest in Malacia, with United keen to get him off their books.
Every penny matters to United and their ability to offload deadwood will shape the business they can do this window.
United are also looking to sell Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Antony.
The most likely scenario with Sancho is a return to the Bundesliga, where he shone in two spells with Borussia Dortmund, but United may struggle to secure the £25m fee they are after from a club in Germany.
Rashford, who impressed initially at Aston Villa last season, is a player they are eager to sell, but sources have suggested a loan deal with an option to buy is more likely.
However, United reportedly want £40million to seal a permanent deal for the winger.
Antony has thrived on loan at Real Betis but they do not have the money to sign him permanently.
He is another that has been mooted for a loan deal with option to buy, unless United lower their asking price of around £30-35m.
