FC Cincinnati is signing former Manchester United left-back Tyrell Malacia on a free transfer following his exit from Old Trafford this summer. The 27-year-old is available after becoming a free agent and has been linked with an immediate move to the MLS club.
According to reports, Malacia has been training with FC Cincinnati prior to the deal being finalised. BBC Football and The Athletic both describe the move as a free transfer, with no fee reported. The outlets also align on the key timeline: Malacia leaves Manchester United, becomes a free agent, and then connects with FC Cincinnati through training before the signing. The differing coverage is mainly in emphasis and phrasing rather than substance, with both outlets presenting the transfer as the next step in Malacia’s playing career after his Manchester United departure.
