Tyrell Malacia (Out) | close to PSV loan

[The holy trinity 68]

We loan Malacia out, and now we only have 1 left footed left back again?? And he is new in the squad. I just do not understand this.

Shaw and Dorgu are both left footed and can play LWB.

I wonder if Ayden Heaven might even be an option, left footed and signed for the first team and supposedly sees himself as more than simply a CB. No idea if he has played LB at youth level but that might come into the thinking.

It says everything about Malacia's quality (or lack of)

I doubt shaws ever gonna play LB/LWB again. He can’t run up and down like he used to do. He’s mainly going to be used as LCB in this system.

Amorim doesn't play with left full backs though, he plays with wing backs. Putting a CB there doesn't do anything as they can't do the attacking required.

I understand that but Heaven supposedly sees himself as a midfielder more than a defender, a lot of young players wind up changing positions as they move into first team football and if he has pace and a desire to get forward then maybe he could be an option. We are only talking as an emergency fallback in the evnt of injury crisis which is essentially what he would be replacing.

Bit curious, what should I expect from Malacia as a PSV fan? When he came to United he was one of the best players in the Dutch Eredivisie. And is he game-fit?

 

[DuruttiColumn]

Fine as a backup left back, but seeing as we don’t use full backs there’s no point in him hanging around.

It’d be nice if we could start getting Garnacho minutes at LWB. If he can learn the role effectively enough.
