Manchester United bizarrely cancel player’s loan while he was flying to his medical

Manchester United block Tyrell Malacia loan at last minute

Tyrell Malacia had been set to join Besiktas on loan before Manchester United stepped in late on deadline day, according to Samuel Luckhurst.

The left back was en route to Istanbul for his medical when he was instructed to return to Old Trafford following a decision taken by Jason Wilcox.

“Tyrell Malacia, who was about to board a plane to Turkey, is baffled that Jason Wilcox has blocked his planned transfer.”

“Malacia’s fellow Manchester United left-backs, Harry Amass and Patrick Dorgu, have suffered significant injuries in recent weeks.”

Injuries force sudden rethink at Carrington

Manchester United’s decision was influenced by growing concerns at left back due to injuries.

Reports suggest Malacia was left frustrated by the abrupt change after expecting the move to go through.

Patrick Dorgu is expected to miss around ten weeks with a hamstring injury, while other options have also suffered setbacks in recent weeks.

The situation prompted United to halt Malacia’s departure despite his limited minutes this season and the advanced stage of the loan agreement.
