Tyrell Malacia, a former Manchester United player, has joined FC Cincinnati in the Major League Soccer. According to Voetbal International, Malacia signed a contract with the American club until mid 2027, with an option for an additional year. This move comes after Malacia's contract with Manchester United expired last season, where he spent the last four seasons. He was blocked from joining Istanbul Başakşehir in the winter due to Manchester United's transfer block.
Malacia's move to FC Cincinnati is seen as an opportunity for him to regain his fitness and prove himself on the pitch. He aims to return to the Dutch national team, a goal that has been sparked by a recent conversation with KNVB-directeur Nigel de Jong. Malacia will face a test of his fitness in October when he visits Inter Miami, the team of Lionel Messi.
Malacia's contract with FC Cincinnati will keep him in the United States until at least mid 2027, with the option to extend for another year.
