Inside Tyrell Malacia's 18 month injury hell: The Dutchman finally reveals what took so long to recover from knee problem as Man United struggled to cope with squad's injury crisis

Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia has opened up on his injury nightmare as he closes in on a return to full fitness after almost 18 months on the sidelines.

Malacia has not played since featuring for United since the final game of the 2022-23 season, where he lasted 90 minutes in a 2-1 win over Fulham at Old Trafford.

He returned to team training in September following a long spell out injured, which included multiple set-backs during his rehabilitation process.

The 25-year-old stepped up his recovery as he completed a 45-minute comeback for United's Under-21s against Huddersfield on Tuesday.
