Malacia back training with first team

Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia has returned to first-team training.

Malacia was the one remaining member of the 'bomb squad' exiled by head coach Ruben Amorim at the start of pre-season who did not get a move away from Old Trafford.

United sources say the plan had always been to reintegrate players still at the club and Malacia's return is not connected to any injuries or loss of form.

The Netherlands international spent the second half of last season on loan at PSV Eindhoven and was linked to a deadline day move to Spain this summer. His time at Old Trafford has been scarred by injury.

It remains to be seen if Malacia will be involved in Saturday's home game with Sunderland.
