Malacia is currently training with the MLS club as he searches for a new employer. The 27-year-old left-back has been without a club since the summer. He previously played for Manchester United, who signed him from Feyenoord in 2022 for around €15 million. In his first season, he played 39 official matches for the club. Malacia also had a successful spell at Feyenoord, where he played 136 official matches and earned a place in the Dutch national team. He has played nine international matches for Oranje. His time at Manchester United was marked by a long period of inactivity due to a knee injury, which lasted for approximately 500 days.
