Tyrell Malacia, who does not play a significant role at Manchester United, was supposed to move to Turkey in the final days of the transfer window, but the "Red Devils" ultimately blocked such a transfer.

The 26-year-old left-back was set to join Istanbul "Besiktas," but the changed situation at "Man Utd" forced a reconsideration of T. Malacia's departure.

The biggest issue became Patrick Dorgu's injury. The Dane will be unable to help the team for at least two months, making the left-back position particularly fragile.

For this reason, "Man Utd" decided not to allow the Dutchman to go to Turkey.

T. Malacia is expected to leave "Man Utd" as a free agent in the summer.
