Manchester United currently has over twelve players on loan, each experiencing different levels of success.
Antony has thrived at Real Betis, while Marcus Rashford has returned to the pitch against Aston Villa after struggling with his motivation at Manchester United.
Conversely, Jadon Sancho’s performance at Chelsea has declined, and United is relieved to have a £25 million obligation clause in place.
At PSV Eindhoven, Tyrell Malacia has been given a chance on loan, but he has yet to fully capitalize on this opportunity.
Tyrell Malacia slammed
Tyrell Malacia made his second appearance in the Eredivisie for PSV over the weekend, resulting in a 3-2 loss to Go Ahead Eagles.
In a conversation regarding the team’s defensive performance, PSV icon Rene Van de Kerkhof expressed his dissatisfaction.
Van de Kerkhof, who secured three league titles with PSV during the 1970s and played over 270 matches for the club, shared his thoughts. He was cited by Voetbal Zone while speaking on the Omroep Brabant podcast: “In the match against Go Ahead on Saturday, all three goals conceded were significant defensive errors.”
“A Malacia like that is really a bad buy. I don’t want to see him again!
“He should just go back to Manchester United, get rid of him. You can also blame technical director Earnest Stewart for that, he should have taken a closer look at him.”
As a former Feyenoord player, Malacia was already on an uphill battle to convince PSV supporters. His early form will not have helped.
Champions League disaster for Tyrell Malacia
It is improbable that Tyrell Malacia has altered Rene Van de Kerkhof’s opinion following his participation in a dismal Champions League match for PSV.
The young Dutch player had previously contributed to PSV’s advancement to the last 16 with a dramatic extra-time victory over Juventus, but his subsequent performance against Arsenal was one to forget.
PSV suffered a heavy defeat, losing 7-1 at home to Arsenal in the first leg of their matchup, trailing 3-1 at halftime, and the situation deteriorated further in the second half.
While Malacia received a yellow card, the overall performance of the team was subpar; however, he did manage to create three goal-scoring opportunities. Nonetheless, it was a humiliating evening.
The sole silver lining is that Van de Kerkhof may consider sending the entire PSV starting lineup away for a period following their loss.
PSV holds an option to purchase Malacia for £8.3 million, but he has yet to present a compelling argument for the transfer.
