Man United defender Tyrell Malacia has returned to the club after Dutch giants PSV rejected the chance to activate the buy option in his loan contract.

The 25-year-old spent the second half of 2024-25 on loan at PSV but only managed to play 385 league minutes as they secured the Eredivisie title.

PSV had an option to buy in Malacia’s loan contract for a reported fee of €10 million (£8.5m) but they decided against activating it after his underwhelming spell, per Fabrizio Romano.

He will now return to Man United but he is unlikely to have much of a future at the club following the January signing of Patrick Dorgu.

United are understood to want to get rid of the left-back but with limited suitors, he may end up remaining at Old Trafford beyond the summer.
