According to journalist Joost Blaauwhof, the fringe left-back had a transfer fail that would’ve seen him join Benfica.
That has in turn benefitted PSV, allowing the Dutch side to have a free run at Malacia.
It was well-known that the 25-year-old had said his goodbyes to the squad at Carrington around the same time Marcus Rashford departed.
Malacia has struggled with long-term injuries, which made him become a fringe player under Ruben Amorim.

He started his career at Feyenoord and has nine caps for the Netherlands but hasn’t featured for his country since 2023.
The arrival of Patrick Dorgu was also a factor in pushing Tyrell Malacia down the pecking order.
His contract is set to expire in summer 2026, and was set to join Benfica on a loan-deal.
Malacia has featured just three times for United in the Premier League this season.
But the major plot twist has come at a pivotal point, with his future whereabouts changing on deadline day.
Benfica will be gutted at the loss of acquiring his signature, as he would’ve provided much needed cover in the left-back spot.
His tenure at Manchester United has only come to disappointment for United fans.
The Dutchman was expected to become a stalwart figure under Erik ten Hag.
However, Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system only comes as a disservice to Malacia’s position as a natural left-back.
