FC Cincinnati Adds Former Manchester United Defender Tyrell Malacia
The 27-year-old Netherlands international joins on a free transfer after leaving Manchester United, giving Cincinnati a left-back with top-level experience.
- FC Cincinnati signed former Manchester United left-back Tyrell Malacia on a free transfer. The 27-year-old Netherlands international joins on a deal running until next June with an option to extend for the 2027-28 season.
- The move followed the release of centre-back Matt Miazga earlier this month, freeing up necessary roster space. Malacia underwent a trial and tests with the American club earlier this week before management accelerated efforts to finalize the deal.
- Malacia leaves Old Trafford after a four-year spell with the Red Devils, having made 50 appearances for United before a serious knee cartilage injury kept him off the pitch for around 550 days.
- General manager Chris Albright praised the acquisition, stating, "He's played at the highest levels of the game," and noted Malacia's "defensive instincts" make him a welcome addition to Cincinnati.
- The Dutchman returned under Ruben Amorim in late 2024 before joining PSV Eindhoven on loan, and his final season at the Premier League club included only three substitute appearances, totaling 15 minutes.
