Tyrell Malacia is looking forward to "finally playing good football again" after completing a move from Manchester United to PSV.

The Eredivisie's winter transfer window closed a day after the Premier League's and Malacia completed a move to PSV on loan for the remainder of the season on Tuesday evening.

Sources have confirmed PSV will cover all of Malacia's wages and the option to make the deal permanent for €10million (£8.3m) at the end of the season has been included.

Malacia was signed by former United manager Erik ten Hag in the summer of 2022. He briefly became first-choice left-back, but he ended his first season as the deputy in his position and also picked up a knee injury, which required two rounds of surgery after an unsuccessful first operation.

The 25-year-old returned from a mammoth 517-day absence for United's Under-21s against Huddersfield in November.

Ruben Amorim recently admitted that Malacia was "struggling" and a return to the Eredivisie will provide the defender with a fresh start in more familiar surroundings.

"I'm happy to be here. Finally playing good football again," Malacia told PSV's in-house club media. "I am coming off a long injury, but by now I am fit and know that my time will come again.

"In every tough period there are also positive elements and in this case that is that I have become much stronger physically and mentally.

"I have more patience, am more mature, know my body better and things like that. I'm ready to pop and hopefully win several prizes with PSV."

PSV's director of football added on the transfer: "We are very happy to welcome with Tyrell a player who can be of immediate value for PSV. Tyrell has a lot of experience at the highest level and is also a player with a lot of potential. We look forward to seeing him in action."

Malacia is not eligible to play in PSV's home game against former club Feyenoord on Wednesday night, but he will begin training with Peter Bosz's squad and could make his debut on Saturday.

United signed Malacia for €15million (£12.9m) and will make a small loss if PSV buy him permanently.
