Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia has returned to the club's Carrington training ground ahead of the Red Devils' pre-season fixtures.
Malacia, who made the move to Old Trafford in the summer of 2022 from Dutch side Feyenoord, last made an appearance for the club in May 2023 and missed the entirety of last season because of a serious knee injury.
His absence contributed to a large problem for manager Erik ten Hag, who was forced to deal with injuries to both Malacia and Luke Shaw, often resulting in other players filling in at left-back. The club are said to be in the market for a new defender this summer, with Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez among the options in the backline.
Shaw is now back fit, having returned to action with England at Euro 2024, but Malacia continues to battle towards a long-awaited return.
United confirmed Malacia returned to Carrington on Friday and has begun working on his own. The left-back can be seen sprinting and working with the ball at his feet.

United have not yet provided an update on Malacia's potential return date. He will miss Monday's pre-season opener against Rosenborg in Norway on Monday, and is unlikely to see minutes against Rangers later that week.
The Red Devils have not yet revealed whether Malacia will be available for their trip to the United States, during which they are set to face Arsenal, Real Betis and finally Liverpool on August 3.
Shaw will also miss the Rosenborg game because of his involvement in Sunday's Euro 2024 final alongside midfield teammate Kobbie Mainoo.
