Although he had the opportunity to move to a Premier League club on deadline day, one Man United ace decided on a switch to the Eredivisie.
Tyrell Malacia always appeared likely to move on from the Red Devils this winter, with Ruben Amorim looking at ways to streamline the squad he took over from Erik ten Hag.

A £150m-rated Man United duo are up for sale and the likelihood is they’ll be moved on in the next window, whilst Amorim wants Wesley as part of his summer overhaul.
By then the club should have more of an idea of what to do with Malacia who made a late January transfer window move to PSV Eindhoven.
A move which journalist Martijn Krabbendam said on the live broadcast of Voetbal International (per Voetbalverslaafd) had angered “a lot of people in Rotterdam.”
The 25-year-old was born in the city of course, and joined United from Feyenoord who play there.
De Trots van Zuid, or ‘The Pride of the South’ as Feyenoord are affectionately known, was also where Malacia spent his entire youth career, so heading to a huge Eredivisie rival was always going to have consequences.
More so when you understand that the player also had the perfect opportunity to continue his career in the English top-flight after Krabbendam revealed that Wolverhampton Wanderers had showed their hand.
“He could also go to Wolverhampton Wanderers, but if PSV comes… Then you just go and play for PSV? I understand the sentiment, but players reason differently.”
