“We decided not to tell anyone what happened to him till he returns to training again. It has never happened to any footballer. He almost lost his mind and his life. We are lucky to have him back”-Man Utd issue rare update on Tyrell Malacia amid concern from fans as Erik ten Hag reveals what happened to him.
Manchester United is gearing up for the 2024/25 season with significant developments concerning defender Tyrell Malacia. As players not involved in Euro 2024 or the 2024 Copa America return to Carrington for pre-season activities, notable absentees like Malacia have caught the attention of fans. The Dutch defender, pivotal since joining under Erik ten Hag, has been absent from recent training photos, sparking concerns amid his recovery from a knee injury last summer.
Responding to speculation, Manchester United recently updated fans on Malacia’s progress, showcasing him actively participating in training sessions. The club’s official statement highlighted positive strides in his fitness program, reassuring supporters eagerly awaiting his return to action. Malacia, who arrived from Feyenoord in 2022 and quickly gained popularity, is diligently rehabilitating to rejoin the squad.
In addition to updates on Malacia, Manchester United announced new additions to Erik ten Hag’s coaching staff, including Rene Hake and Ruud van Nistelrooy, aiming to introduce fresh perspectives and innovations ahead of a rigorous pre-season schedule. This includes matches against Rosenborg, Rangers, Arsenal, Real Betis, and Liverpool, leading up to the FA Community Shield clash with Manchester City on August 10.
