Thought he did well we he came on. Looking unlikely he’ll stay past the summer but that was better than his usual poor showing.
 
I think im in a huge minority here but does anybody else see him as useful enough to be a SUBSTITUTE left back. he's quick enough and works hard, his short passing is decent - of course theres room for improvement, especially for what we want from this role in attack, but he had a long lay off and may well still have some improvement in him. I dont seem to rate him as badly as others do

He would be fine as a squad player… if we had a decent incumbent in front of him and if he hadn’t had the injuries he’s had, which means he needs games.

Players like these come in for a couple of years, and then move on. Think it’s best for both parties he moves on, as otherwise his career will fizzle out to nothing.

If we were using a traditional left back, sure. We really need attacking players in those positions to move forward, even as a back up.

No, he's not good enough even as a squad player. I never thought he was good enough, even before his long injury lay off.

He did ok the other night but that was against a very understrength Rangers side.

I don't think he's particularly quick either, we've seen him done badly for pace a few times this season!
 
FCSB 0:2 Man Utd New
The good.... I liked how high he was on the left as the LWB.

The bad... Whenever he was on the ball (though he did hit one good cross I think)
 
No bump from yesterday, but that really wasn't good. Seems to be a step behind a lot defensively which results in him just lunging in to stupid challenges. His touch and passing is also very choppy.

With Dorgu coming in, I wonder if it's best to either sell Malacia or get him on loan next season. He has mostly looked like a liability after his injury.
 
I didnt expect to be the first to comment after the game. Was terrible, nothing he did changed my mind. His level is not the EPL. Needs to leave to continue his own career.
 
Well below standard physically and technically for a Premier League FB/WB and it’s been obvious for years. He does play with some tenacity but that’s it.
 
He’s a €15m playing like a €15m leftback who came back from a 1 year injury.
He was a squad option at best, and his injuries set him further back in terms if ability and athleticism, so his performances are not really surprising
 
He was poor yesterday. He showed some tactical discipline by staying wide, but that’s about it. He’s too slow… I could go on listing what he’s not good at - but the reality is he’s not good enough in all areas.

He was open a lot yesterday, but Martinez refused to pass to him most of the time.

It highlights, how much of an improvement we could see with a good left WB. It won’t be just an incremental step up, it would be significant.
 
He's basically had 2 years out of the game. Needs a loan to a less intense league for now and assess again in the summer.
 
Don't think he will fully recover from the injuries he has had, lost alot of pace and it looks like he needs to leave.

Hopefully we can get 20m for him or something and not make a loss on him.

No need to re-assess, he was never the required quality before his injury. He was a stop gap signing at best.

Benfica supposedly taking him on loan.

Must mean Alvaro Fernandez is leaving, can't see us loaning out Malacia to play backup.

Sold the backup LB (Beste) which leaves them with only one LB in Alvaro, who's currently injured. He'll be sharing the minutes with Alvaro.

We can't get 20m for him. Contract until 2026. Even 10m would be decent money.
