Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia has been seen in public for the first time in nearly a year, igniting hopes of his long-awaited return to action, as reported by Manchester Evening News.
The Dutch international has been sidelined since May 2023 due to a severe knee injury that necessitated surgery. Despite initial optimism for a speedy recovery, Malacia’s rehabilitation has been hampered by setbacks, keeping him out of action for the entire season.
Manager Erik ten Hag had previously expressed skepticism about Malacia’s chances of playing this season, indicating that it would be “challenging” for him to make a comeback. However, seeing Malacia training separately from the team suggests that he is finally making strides in his recovery.

While the timeline for Malacia’s return to the pitch remains uncertain, his comeback would offer a significant boost to United’s squad. The left-back position has been a problematic area for the team this season, compounded by Luke Shaw’s struggles with injuries and form.
Fans will be eagerly anticipating Malacia’s return, hoping it will bolster the defense and provide a much-needed lift to the team’s fortunes.
