Tyrell Malacia Faces Exit as Manchester United Prepare for Patrick Dorgu Signing

A significant change is anticipated at Manchester United regarding Patrick Dorgu's anticipated transfer from Lecce. Specifically, his arrival will shuffle the dynamics around left-back Tyrell Malacia. Ahead of a potentially busy conclusion to the winter transfer window, it now seems that the star player is heading out on loan to La Liga outfit Real Betis.

Dorgu Signing: New Chapter for United

United have reportedly agreed on a deal, worth €30 million plus €5 million in potential add-ons, for the young Denmark international, who is rated very highly at 20 years of age. Personal terms being agreed, Dorgu will likely fall right into his new preferred 3-4-2-1 formation by manager Ruben Amorim and strengthen United's left wing-back.

Malacia has only just started playing at his best again following a long time out of action through knee problems, and is in a pretty vulnerable position. Having got back to full fitness, the Dutchman is bound to see his influence on the side reduce with Dorgu joining the fray. This is why United has considered its options for Malacia and Real Betis has cropped up as one possible destination.

Real Betis: Suitable Landing Spot?

According to Daily Mail and Diario de Sevilla reports, Manchester United has 'offered' Malacia, as Real Betis still needs a left-back. Having recently acquired Antony via loan, the La Liga side will be looking to bolster its back line with the addition of Malacia. However, as sources say, Betis is taking time to mull over the issue.

While Malacia's talent is undeniable, the fitness and match sharpness issues after almost two years on the sidelines make the Spanish club hesitant. They are said to be looking for a loan deal, but Malacia's recent inactivity might be forcing them to change their minds.

Betis, on the other hand, is keen to strengthen their defense and attack, and under Manuel Pellegrini, they are not yet considering Malacia at the moment. This uncertainty he is facing about a possible move displays the complexity of player transfers, especially those coming back from injury.

Conclusion: The Crossroad of Malacia

The end days of the transfer window mean that Tyrell Malacia faces a turning point in his career. Patrick Dorgu's arrival at Manchester United is not only a new beginning for the club under Amorim but may also mark the end of the road for Malacia at Old Trafford. Be it a move to Real Betis or staying in Manchester, the coming days will be important for the Dutch defender as he tries to regain his place in the game.
