During his time at PSV, Malacia struggled to make an impact, and the Dutch club chose not to exercise their option to buy him for £10 million. Now, a Saudi Arabian club has made a concrete offer for Malacia, which Manchester United is considering.

Malacia is one of several players who have been training separately from the team, along with Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Alejandro Garnacho. The reasons for their exclusion from team activities are not entirely clear, but it's possible that they are being given time to sort out their personal issues or work on their skills.
