MANCHESTER UNITED fans believe Tyrell Malacia “looks like a beast” after seeing the injured full-back looking ripped in a boxing video.
Malacia, 25, has not played football in 15 MONTHS since getting knee surgery in the summer of 2023.

It has been 502 days since Malacia’s last competitive outing.
He last played for Holland in a Uefa Nations League match in June 2023, and he underwent surgery the following month.
Complications from the surgery required him to undergo a second procedure, which kept him out of action for the 2022-23 season.
However, the left-back officially resumed first-team training a fortnight ago.
His teammates gave him a hearty welcome, clapping him on the head as he ran under a makeshift tunnel of players.
However, Red Devils fans’ excitement peaked when Malacia was sighted looking utterly shredded and in tip-top shape this week.
This comes after a video surfaced showing the former Feyenoord defender throwing punches during an intense boxing physio session.
One fan said, “Malacia looks like a beast!”

A second said, “The team desperately needs him.” Please tell me this is the end of his time out.
A third commented, “He’s coming back stronger .”
Given United’s left-back crisis, a probable return for Malacia would be timely.
The Red Devils have ONE full-back available for selection: Diogo Dalot, who has been filling in at left back.
Right-back Noussair Mazraoui will be out of action for several weeks after undergoing a modest corrective operation to address heart palpitations.
Mazraoui withdrew from Morocco’s team after being substituted by Victor Lindelof at halftime against Aston Villa.

He has made 10 appearances this season after signing alongside Matthijs de Ligt in a £60 million double move from Bayern Munich this summer.
Meanwhile, Luke Shaw is still dealing with an injury after experiencing a fresh calf issue during his first week back for preseason.
Shaw has been out since United’s 2-1 victory over Luton on February 18, but struggled to be fit for England’s final defeat to Spain.
Shaw was England’s finest starter that night in Germany, but he has not played since.
